39 EXECUTIVE BRIEFING EXECUTIVE BRIEFING 2 Candidate engagement platforms, like the AMN Healthcare Passport application, also expedite credentialing and virtual onboarding, and enable seamless integration. Through virtual "credential wallets," clinicians and other healthcare workers can upload their credentials, which are automatically integrated into a health system's platforms. This speeds up the time for new employees to hit the ground running and removes a common pain point for healthcare systems. 3. Talent Deployment: Technology is optimizing workforce deployment in areas such as staffing agency vendor management, telehealth, language services, internal agencies, and float pool management. These deployment technology tools help automatically align staff skills and levels with requirements and allow workers and health systems alike to have more flexibility in how to deploy talent to assure quality patient care. Last, but not least, integration is vital for these technology solutions, not just within the workforce domain but also across HR, timekeeping, and financial systems to assure that workforce processes and data governance are reliable and valid. Empowering Talent Solutions AMN Healthcare is a comprehensive solutions provider, offering everything from traditional nurse staffing to specialty physician recruitment and language services. This empowers health systems with an integrated approach that bridges the total talent planning, acquisition, and deployment processes into a singular workforce technology ecosystem. This suite leverages AI to forecast staffing needs, identify qualified candidates, automate onboarding, facilitate talent deployment, and provide real-time and dynamic business intelligence that informs and enables data-driven labor management decisions for healthcare leaders. Further, health systems that implement AMN Healthcare's comprehensive solutions create a complete talent ecosystem that becomes a highly effective conduit for improving the permanent and temporary candidate/employee experience and provides an effective vehicle for health systems to promote their employer brand and culture. Positive outcomes have emerged from organizations adopting this strategic, holistic approach to workforce management. AMN Healthcare's clients who have partnered with us across RPO and staffing solutions have seen open position fulfillment rates significantly increase and have been successful in boosting their internal flexibility and talent pools. Strategic planning effort collaboration has also enabled health systems to optimize the amount of contingent labor to meet their growth needs and supplement resources in the most cost-effective way. Such cases exemplify the possibilities unlocked by the integration of strategic talent management and innovative talent-focused technology solutions. A Future Envisioned In the next few years, hybridized talent acquisition approaches combining core staff with flexible contingent staffing will become expected from and adopted by healthcare systems. Additionally, technology-enabled services and workforce analytics will gain prominence, enhancing efficiency, speed, and sustainability. These developments are poised to alleviate current staffing challenges and bolster organizations' future readiness.
