Healthcare staffing contracts are agreements between a hospital and an agency, which hire healthcare professionals to work at that hospital. Contracts are generally valid for anywhere from 6 months to 3 years, and expire at different times based on the length of the agreement. Healthcare staffing agencies generally require nurses and other healthcare professionals to have a valid license, CPR certification, and a clean record.
Healthcare staffing agencies/hospitals often have strict policies regarding drug and alcohol abuse, and healthcare professionals may be barred from working if they have had convictions.
In conclusion, the health care industry faces a unique staffing challenge: lack of qualified healthcare professionals. This challenge affects both staffing agencies and their clients. Both must collaborate to effectively recruit, hire, and retain qualified medical staff.
Contract work in healthcare is a 39-billion-dollar industry and is expected to continue growing. Therefore, the healthcare industry needs talented employees and companies need qualified healthcare professionals.
Healthcare staffing agencies negotiate contracts with medical facilities and physicians all over the country. These contracts dictate the details of employment, compensation, and benefits, including medical, dental, and life insurance. The contractual details between staffing agencies and their clients must be carefully negotiated. Both parties must fully understand the terms and ramifications of their agreement.
