Slash Staffing Costs with an Internal Resource Pool (IRP)

In today's challenging healthcare landscape, controlling costs is more critical than ever. One area where organizations often face significant expenses is staffing, particularly the reliance on external agencies and contract staff. These traditional methods come with exorbitant bill rates, impacting the bottom line. But what if there was a better way?

Enter the Internal Resource Pool (IRP)

An Internal Resource Pool (IRP) offers a powerful alternative. It's a system that allows healthcare organizations to leverage their own existing staff to fill open shifts and manage staffing needs. Instead of automatically turning to expensive agencies, you tap into a readily available pool of qualified professionals who are already part of your team.

How Does an IRP Reduce Costs?

DirectShifts' IRP solution directly addresses the problem of high agency costs by:

• Replacing Agency Reliance: By creating a flexible pool of internal staff, you significantly reduce your dependence on external agencies and their hefty bill rates. You're filling shifts with your own employees, at your own rates.
• Performance-Based Model: DirectShifts replaces the traditional agency model with a performance-based approach. You pay for the services you use, rather than inflated agency fees.
• Eliminating Conversion Fees: With DirectShifts, you can even hire clinicians from your internal pool for permanent positions without incurring any conversion fees. This is a huge cost saving compared to agency placements.
