SimpliFi, a leading provider of workforce management solutions to healthcare systems, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Stogo, an innovative health system shift and float pool management platform based in San Antonio, TX.
Stogo was founded by two Acute Care Hospital executives to address the consistent shortage of qualified staff and associated scheduling challenges that they saw health systems struggling to manage. The mobile app-based Stogo platform enables healthcare providers to easily fill critical staffing gaps with their internal employees or with local, Stogo-employed clinicians in their community. Clinicians will fill over 100,000 shifts this year through Stogo’s robust and intuitive mobile staffing marketplace.
“The cultural fit and aligned vision for the platform were two of the most compelling factors about joining SimpliFi,” said Stogo founders Heather Anderson and Patrick Halinski. “Joining SimpliFi provides Stogo with resources and strong customer relationships that will help fuel additional support for the continued expansion of the platform.”
SimpliFi provides workforce solutions that help healthcare systems maximize their core staff while optimizing their contingent labor spend. “Health systems across the country are looking for ways to maximize their core staff, expand the use of internal float pools, and engage skilled clinicians from their communities to pick up extra shifts,” said James Quick, President of SimpliFi. “The addition of Stogo brings new capabilities and seasoned healthcare executives to further our mission of serving as a true partner to our customers, helping them meet the patientcare demands of their communities while reducing labor costs.”
