Our first-ever longform insights report highlighted twenty-five predictions for the future of healthcare staffing from twenty senior agency leaders across the country, exploring economic, structural, legislative, and operational shifts in healthcare staffing. Shortly thereafter, we released an episode of our Ref Around the Edges podcast featuring one of the report’s contributors, Dr. John Mehall, discussing systemic obstacles to care delivery and the factors motivating the increasing popularity of locum tenens.
Now, we are delighted to premiere our next report – “Winning in Healthcare Staffing,” authored by Robert Livonius. Bob is the founder of Livonius Consulting and the former President at AMN Healthcare. There are few leaders in healthcare staffing with the reputation for excellence and operational insight that Bob has, and he’s continued to give back to the industry by advising and serving on the boards of directors of many of the sector’s greatest success stories.
In “Winning in Healthcare Staffing,” Bob discusses:
- What’s driving declines in demand and bill rates for healthcare staffing
- Why consolidation is not just necessary but arguably the prerequisite for recovery and future growth
- The implications of consolidation on company valuations and PE expectations
- Categories of healthcare staffing providers and the operating guardrails for each
- The mindset, approach, and priorities that will define the companies that succeed
- The traps and shortcuts that may ultimately sink agencies unwilling to adapt
