However, as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, medical care facilities across the U.S. are forced to dig deep to ease healthcare staffing shortages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While facilities don\u2019t have much room to maneuver, many states create additional space by <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.staffingindustry.com\/Editorial\/Healthcare-Staffing-Report\/Sept.-9-2021\/States-announce-funding-for-Covid-healthcare-staffing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announcing emergency funding<\/a> for COVID-19 healthcare spending. So if you\u2019ve been thinking of adjusting your crisis capacity strategies to maintain adequate staffing, this may be an excellent time to try something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthcare staffing shortages at a crisis level<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthcare staffing shortages are so significant that the American Nurses Association (ANA) urges the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nursingworld.org\/news\/news-releases\/2021\/ana-urges-us-department-of-health-and-human-services-to-declare-nurse-staffing-shortage-a-national-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declare a national crisis<\/a>. Many of these issues have been <a href=\"https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/healthcare-staffing-trends-post-covid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trending for years<\/a>, but there\u2019s little question that the pandemic has exacerbated them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nurses were already leaving the profession but, as the Delta variant continues to thrive, those numbers are likely to go up; recent surveys show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/05\/31\/covid-is-driving-an-exodus-among-health-care-workers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20-30%<\/a> of healthcare workers are thinking of exiting over the next few years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Human resources struggle with recruitment and retention as competition for practicing nurses increases, and many can\u2019t find the medical professionals they need. Facilities with tighter finances are particularly feeling the pinch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There aren\u2019t enough nursing students in the pipeline to bring relief soon. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has already estimated about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/healthcare\/registered-nurses.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">194,500 openings<\/a> for Registered Nurses (RNs) each year, with the most severe shortages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.edu\/blog\/nursing-shortage\/\">predicted<\/a> for California, Texas, and New Jersey.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical care facilities have a front-row seat for every shift and nuance that affects their business and their patients\u2019 direct care. So the question is: What can you do to ease healthcare staffing shortages? One option is on-demand staffing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On-demand staffing as an alternative to traditional agencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Karla Williams, Clinical Specialist Manager at Medely, previously led the nursing department at a mid-sized Ambulatory Surgery Center in Arkansas. Her experience there echoed what many healthcare facilities face now: Tight resources that required all hands on deck.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cWe had a small pool of professionals that we used,\u201d she shared in an interview <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/director-of-nursing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>for new directors of nursing<\/em><\/a><em>. \u201cIf they weren\u2019t available, I either stepped in to fill that position, or we had to operate shorthanded.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<cite>Karla Williams, Clinical Specialist Manager at Medely,<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>However, operating shorthanded isn\u2019t ideal for anyone, especially when many medical care facilities are already near capacity. With a budget that didn\u2019t have much room for Travel Nurses and Allied Healthcare Professionals regularly, Williams said she wishes she\u2019d had the option to try on-demand solutions such as Medely as part of her contingency capacity strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cJust having that extra help available would have made a huge difference for the staff,\u201d she said. \u201cOf course, it would have improved safe patient care because staff would have been less tired and rundown. And it would have allowed me to focus more of my attention on my duties instead of bedside care.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On-demand staffing can connect you with <a href=\"https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/healthcare-staffing-models\/\">three types of healthcare and allied professionals<\/a>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Travel nurses<\/strong> include talent from other parts of the country that can improve your direct care level, add skills you can\u2019t find locally, and close gaps for a while. Competition for travelers is particularly fierce at the moment because their talents are needed in so many parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Local assignments<\/strong> use Nurses and Allied Professionals who live in your region but are outside your regular staff\u2014such as someone who\u2019s recently retired and wants to stay involved or a parent whose children recently went back to school full time. One benefit to working with local medical staff is that licensure requirements won\u2019t be a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Per diem jobs<\/strong> include Nurses and others that are available on an as-needed basis when you suddenly find yourself short. One significant benefit is that you can potentially find a match within a few minutes\u2014and easily list them as a favorite for multiple bookings as they grow with your facility.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An on-demand solution means you don\u2019t go through an agency when you have an opening: You can connect directly with Healthcare Professionals when you need them. As a result, a healthcare staffing solution may save you both time and money; Medely customers <a href=\"https:\/\/medely.com\/facilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">save as much as 40%<\/a> without agency overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other solutions to ease healthcare staffing shortages are on the way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) are predicting a 9% decline in healthcare staffing for 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/health\/staff-shortages-hospitals-covid\/2021\/08\/12\/85f636b4-fa97-11eb-8a67-f14cd1d28e47_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Esmaeil Porsa, President and CEO of Harris Health System,<\/a> discussed the extreme issue in front of the Texas Senate committee. \u201cI am faced with a workforce that is tired, overworked and constantly under siege,\u201d Porsa testified. \u201cI have lost staff to fatigue and retirement.
