SAN DIEGO, May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AMN Healthcare
(NYSE: AMN), the leader and innovator in healthcare workforce
solutions and staffing services, and BJC HealthCare, one of the
nation's largest nonprofit healthcare integrated delivery
organizations, were recognized for outstanding collaboration with
the 2017 HRO Today Services and Technology Association Award for
Partnership in Recruiting Excellence.
The award honors the high-achieving BJC HealthCare and AMN
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partnership, which reduced
contingent labor costs and improved recruitment efficiency to fill
critical nursing needs at the healthcare provider.
The talent acquisition partnership is led by Andrea Lampert, VP Talent Strategies at BJC
HealthCare, and Chris Scowden, who
leads the RPO division at AMN Healthcare.
"We strive to be a national model for patient advocacy, clinical
quality, medical research, employee satisfaction and financial
stability," Lampert said. "Talent drives all of those
outcomes, and it is a critical priority to have the right staff in
the right place to deliver and support exceptional patient
care."
AMN Healthcare's recruitment services focus on the client's most
pressing workforce needs to create a customized solution that
delivers the right outcomes cost effectively. For BJC
specifically, AMN was asked to fill high-need nursing positions so
that BJC could focus on strategic organizational initiatives such
as clinician retention, productivity, community outreach, and, most
importantly, patient care. The partnership resulted in the
placement of more than 350 nurses across 10 health care locations
in its first year.
"We are honored to be recognized alongside BJC HealthCare for
our recruitment partnership," said Dan
White, President of Strategic Workforce Solutions at AMN
Healthcare. "Providing a quality patient experience requires
balancing hiring needs with budget guidelines and organizational
goals. We are excited to be supporting BJC HealthCare in recruiting
quality healthcare talent so that they can focus on promoting the
health and well-being of the patients and communities they
serve."
