Revolutionizing the clinical labor marketplace in healthcare has always sounded challenging. In this episode, Aamer Mumtaz, Senior Vice President of Growth and Operations, talks about how ShiftMed proposes a solution to the nurse staffing shortage with a technology-based platform for healthcare systems and facilities. As a society, nursing jobs still need to be given the financial incentives they deserve. ShiftMed seeks to change that with a flexible model that uses a W-2-based local workforce supported by the company and its platform to avoid contract labor. Aamer explains how the hiring system works and how employees can have a good work experience without worrying about transportation, thanks to a partnership with Uber. Tune in to learn how ShiftMed’s work model takes care of healthcare workers so they can care for patients!
