FTE Source was created by veterans of the healthcare industry, with more than 40 years of combined experience, who recognized an unmet need in the staffing arena. Healthcare facilities continually balance staffing needs. Overstaffing can put a severe strain on facility budgets, while understaffing can cause facilities to lose potential revenue and jeopardize the level of care provided to patients. Laying off extra staff during slow periods only to rehire or use expensive temporary staffing services during busy periods does not provide a cost efficient solution to these problems. So what would?
FTE Source – the only online healthcare staffing exchange. By bringing area facilities, as well as individual healthcare professionals, together within one secure online network, we have created an effective and efficient way to achieve that highly sought-after balance. Here's how!
Let's say Facility A recently experienced an increase in patient volume and needs a physical therapist for twenty hours a week for the next three weeks.
The HR manager at Facility A logs in to FTE Connect and searches for available physical therapists during that timeframe and finds a listing for Individual B.
Individual B, registered through FTE Personal, has the exact qualifications for Facility A's position and is available on a part-time basis. The HR manager requests Individual B and Individual B accepts. Together, they negotiate a fair hourly rate.
Three weeks later, Facility A has efficiently satisfied patient demand while controlling costs and Individual B has earned the extra money she needed.
FTE Source is the only online staffing service that works to mutually benefit all of our members by creating a secure, non-competitive network of healthcare facilities and individual healthcare professionals. FTE Connect, combined with FTE Personal, create one quick and easy to use application. To learn more, contact us today.
