Fact Sheet Current and Projected Shortage Indicators

Increasing Demand for Nurses

• The Nursing shortage is becoming increasingly more critical as the traditional healthcare staffing industry 13 week contract assignment cannot fill the void created by the high number of open core nursing positions.  In the past the positions were able to be filled by travel nurses using an average of 13 week assignments. Even higher bill rates are not relieving the pain caused by the high number of core vacancies.
• To provide a pathway to fill core vacancies Accountable Healthcare is offering 6 month to 12 month long contracts that provide quick relief, reduced bill rates and improved continuity of care. Continuity of care leads to better patient care outcomes and overall satisfaction with the quality of care.
