Agency Staffing is one of the most talked about issues for corporations at budgeting meetings, and not always for the most pleasant reasons. While agencies provide resources in a timely, organized manner, and even on-demand, there is no denying that they do cost much more. However, healthcare facilities, these days, aren’t often left with much of an option than to rely on agencies due to the shortage of frontline workers since the pandemic took over the world.

Challenges associated with Agency Staffing

Some of the most prominent challenges that come with using the services of staffing agencies, especially for senior living communities and skilled nursing facilities, include:

• Security: Knowing when contractors have entered or exited the building
• Time Tracking: Agency workers are required to log hours on a daily basis which must be tracked accurately to meet Human Resource budgets
• Healthcare Compliance: Ensuring, for the safety of community residents, that CMS compliance regulations and staffing ratio requirements are being met
