This VMS is used by many of the nation's largest and most trusted healthcare systems, making it a substantial leap forward in healthcare staffing technology.

Key features of ShiftWise Flex

1. Extensive range of labor sourcing options: One of the strengths of ShiftWise Flex is its ability to cater to both clinical and non-clinical talent requirements. It activates sourcing channels for various labor sources, including internal float pools, direct hire aggregation, staffing agency management and independent contractors. This comprehensive approach ensures that healthcare organizations have access to a wide range of talent to meet their specific needs.

2. Modern, secure, integrated technology: ShiftWise Flex is powered by Microsoft Azure and is SOCII Type 2 compliant, providing a secure and reliable environment for managing contingent labor. The platform offers a single integrated talent management solution that streamlines the order, staffing and compliance management processes. This integration is crucial for ensuring an optimized order-to-fill process. Moreover, ShiftWise Flex leverages out-of-the-box API integrations to drive automation and efficiency when integrating with clients' existing systems.

3. Rich data-driven insights: In the world of healthcare staffing, data-driven decision-making is critical. ShiftWise Flex offers flexible self-service reporting and intuitive interactive dashboards, empowering key stakeholders to make well-informed decisions. Real-time data accessibility ensures that talent strategies are based on the most current insights, allowing for the evaluation of program metrics and supplier performance. Additionally, real-time market intelligence keeps clients informed about the latest healthcare staffing trends, enabling them to maintain their competitive edge in the ever-evolving workforce market.

4. Enhanced supplier experience: ShiftWise Flex doesn't only benefit healthcare organizations; it also offers a powerful ecosystem for suppliers. Suppliers gain immediate access to self-reporting and analytics, which facilitates their ability to compete effectively and continuously improve their performance, ultimately delivering maximum value to clients. With API integrations, suppliers can seamlessly integrate their applicant tracking and payroll systems, streamlining their workload and significantly accelerating speed-to-fill.

5. Integrated with AMN Passport: A unique feature of ShiftWise Flex is its integration with AMN Passport, the highest rated clinician app in the industry. Passport operates as an AI-driven talent-matching engine, seamlessly connecting clinicians to work orders. It offers clinician self-service and automated credentialing matches, empowering clients with superior speed-to-fill and cost-effectiveness. Clinicians can now search for job opportunities, submit applications and book assignments directly through the app. This autonomy enables them to complete the onboarding and credentialing processes independently, while also selecting shifts that align with their preferences.
