MCLEAN, Va. — ShiftMed, a leader in On-Demand workforce technology, announced today its acquisition of CareerStaff Unlimited from Genesis HealthCare (Genesis), a national post-acute care provider. CareerStaff is one of the healthcare industry’s leading per diem and contract managed service providers (MSP). ShiftMed, in combination with CareerStaff, will provide services to Genesis at over 200 skilled nursing and 1,200 Powerback Rehabilitation locations, under a seven-year exclusive agreement.
ShiftMed is the first platform to support Health Systems across all settings, including acute, post-acute, and in-home settings. CareerStaff’s industry leading MSP will be an integral addition to ShiftMed’s value proposition to healthcare clients.
“The integration of CareerStaff with ShiftMed allows us to fulfill 100% of our clients’ On Demand needs through one workforce platform. By merging ShiftMed’s acclaimed mobile-first suite of products with CareerStaff’s top-tier MSP solution, we’re establishing the industry’s first end-to-end digital MSP,” said Todd Walrath, CEO of ShiftMed.
CareerStaff simplifies staffing management for healthcare providers by offering access to a network of over 1,000 staffing companies nationwide. This enables clients to control postings through a single VMS, consolidate contracts, and lower agency spend. The platform includes scheduling, shift confirmation, credentialing, invoice reconciliation, and fraud control. Clients can easily post shifts through a single interface, eliminating the need for multiple point solutions. ShiftMed adds “intelligent routing” to reduce agency costs by efficiently distributing orders among the internal workforce and the most cost-effective external agencies.
