CASE STUDY
Staffing Process Accelerated to Prevent Delayed Opening of Off-Campus ED
About Health System
- Regional system expanding access to emergency care
- Opening a new off-campus emergency room clinic to serve growing patient demand
Problem
A New ER Clinic Without the Nurses to Staff It
A health system preparing to open a new off-campus emergency room clinic faced a critical staffing challenge just days before the scheduled launch. Despite working with a third-party staffing provider that specialized in emergency department placements, the organization was unable to secure enough qualified nurses with the necessary ER experience. Without immediate staffing support, the health system faced the possibility of postponing the clinic opening indefinitely.
-
Extremely limited timeline before the clinic's opening date
-
Candidates previously submitted lacked ER experience, making them unsuitable for the role
