How MedSource’s Proactive Recruiting Saved a Hospital Thousands in Lost Revenue
Staffing shortages are one of the most costly challenges facing healthcare facilities today. Gaps in coverage, last-minute replacements, and high turnover rates severely impact operations and the bottom line.
For one hospital, these issues were costing thousands every day in lost revenue. That’s where MedSource’s proactive recruiting strategy made a game-changing difference.
The Problem: Constant Staffing Gaps and the Pressure of Urgency
Like many healthcare facilities, this hospital faced ongoing staffing struggles. Critical roles were often left vacant, and when positions were unfilled, the hospital scrambled to find replacements. High turnover rates exacerbated the situation, creating a cycle of burnout and compromising patient care.
The Cost: $2,800 Lost Daily per Unfilled Role
Each unfilled locum role cost the hospital up to $2,800 per day in lost revenue, escalating from a minor inconvenience to a major financial burden. The impact was felt not only in dollars but in strained operations, low employee morale, and diminished patient satisfaction.
