Our Partner: Academic Medical Center With an International Reputation for Quality Medical Care & Research
The Situation
Our partner saw a significant year-over-year increase in overall travel nurse usage. Specifically, usage increased by 61% in one year. At its peak, our partner used 140+ travel RNs.
Our Results
In just 10 months, our partner has reduced traveler use by 57%. Today, our partner uses fewer than 60 travelers across the entire organization. Overall yearly savings in premium labor are $10.5+ million.
Key Partnership Value + Benefits
As their RPO partner, our client asked us to focus on efforts that would help them to reduce their travel nurse usage, ultimately decreasing their premium labor costs. Some of the key efforts Hueman leveraged to help decrease travel nurse usage included:
- Increased hiring days
- Working with our partner to create a Nurse Extern position that allows new nurses to work under a supervisor until they take their NCLEX and receive a nursing license
- Increased sign-on bonuses
- Increased hourly rates based on compensation analysis
