Company description::
Medical Staffing Direct (MSD) has been highly successful in providing a cost-effective on-line recruitment and retention technology solution to the healthcare industry. MSD uses a seamless Internet-based technology geared specifically to hospitals. The service simultaneously increased hourly pay rates for nurses and hospitals all ready on line in Florida, Nevada, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Washington states.
MSD offers a unique advantage for nurses to see all opportunities of participating hospitals on a real-time basis. “It’s so much more convenient and gives me the opportunity to see all shifts available at all hospitals on the exchange” said Tara Rose, RN using MSD. “To top that off I earn $2 to $4 more per hour.”
The nurse experiences an immediate increase in hourly rate, greater control of their schedule, and employment visibility with a large number of hospitals. In addition, nurses may enjoy the ability to be offered guaranteed shifts, same day 100% direct deposit, the availability of credentialing and immediate notification of pending expirations, as well as custom shift notification and earned income reports.
According to MSD, the service has eliminated traditional per diem agency usage by 90% while saving hospitals served an average of $10,000 in the first 90 days of implementation. There are no costs associated with using the MSD Exchange. That includes no capital expenditure or IT costs, and no new hardware or software is necessary at all. The savings for each shift filled through the exchange represents approximately $75.00 to $100.00 for every 12-hours worked. Additionally, MSD administers all payroll and credentialing responsibilities.
“Dealing with staffing agencies required numerous phone calls, a lot of stress waiting for call backs, and ultimately wasted time and money," said Carole DiFlorio, Chief Nurse Executive Wellington Regional Hospital. "MSD is a far more organized and cost-effective method of hiring staff. It’s a one-stop shop.”
