Why Should You Start A Medical Staffing Business?

The severe shortage of nurses and other healthcare professionals has created an unprecedented opportunity for entrepreneurs to capitalize on the shortage by starting medical staffing companies to meet the overwhelming demand for staff in the market. Business analysts and the Department of Labor predict that medical staffing companies will continue to grow because staff shortages are expected to get worse for at least 15-20 years.

The average age of nurses has increased 25% since the 1980's, from 36 years to 45 years. Retiring nurses are not being replaced because nursing school enrollments are down or flat, indicating that staffing shortages will continue to rise. Another factor contributing to the nursing shortage is that baby boomers, the largest age group in our population, are approaching old age. This population will place great stress on healthcare providers as they begin to experience an increase in health problems associated with aging. Advances in healthcare technology are keeping people alive longer. This population requires more healthcare services then any other group in the general population.

Healthcare facilities are relying more on medical staffing companies to recruit and provide staffing services. Medical staffing companies spend much of their time and resources identifying and screening qualified personnel therefore medical staffing companies are more successful in recruiting nurses. By using per diem medical personnel, facilities can utilize staff only when they need to, without having to pay for annual salaries and costly benefits packages.

More and more nurses and other medical staff are choosing to work as professional per diem employees because they can choose the facility they want to work in and the days and shifts they want to work. Contract nurses earn more money than staff nurses and they are not required to work forced overtime. Unlike other temporary staff personnel, the average work assignment for nurses last one (1) year for 20-25 hours per week.

Medical staffing is a highly profitable business with gross profit margins ranging from 22%-35% and operating margins from 10%-19%. Medical staffing is a recession proof industry! Even during downturns in the economy, facilities must have essential staff, nurses, pharmacists, technicians, etc.

Clients interested in starting a medical staffing business can choose from four programs. Each of these programs can be provided separately or in a customized package. Some clients choose to begin with one program and then branch into others at a later date.

Program 1 - Nursing Services for the Local Market
In this program the client is taught how to market nurses to local nursing homes, hospitals and other clients. Nurses are provided on a temporary basis, temporary to permanent basis and as permanent employees for a one time fee. Nursing is the largest part of the medical staffing business. It is recommended that if a client only wants one program, this is the one to start with.

Program 2 - International Nursing
Providing nurses from overseas to your local clients and ultimately to facilities around the county can be the most profitable part of the business. In this program the client is taught about immigration laws, nurse screening procedures, how to choose a competent immigration attorney and which nurse brokers to use around the world. Pricing strategies are discussed, and we provide samples of client and nurse contracts.

Program 3 - Allied Health and Administrative Medical Staff
In addition to nursing, the medical staffing industry consists of 50 other positions which facilities use medical staffing companies for.

Program 4 - Permanent Placement
In this program the client will learn how to run a successful permanent placement business as a sole recruiter or with an entire staff of recruiters. There is a market for permanent placement for all of the 50 positions in the medical staffing business.
