Ascent will assure value for your expenditure of scarce resources on supplemental services.
Anyone can guarantee a 10% reduction in overall cost and then go find agencies willing to accept the reduced rate(s). This does not mean you will find the quantity or quality of nurses your patients require.
Ascent seeks a workable balance between your need for staff and prudent fiscal restraint.
Our first step is to assess the existing wage and rate environment in your facility and community. Ascent then establishes competitive benchmarks against which we compare your existing contracts. Particular attention is given to the many "add on" charges, which disguise the quoted rate.
Ascent then adjusts existing contract language and relationships to conform to the benchmark goals.
There are many subtle contract changes that retain agency motivation and reasonable rates but lower your overall cost.
As a former agency owner Ascent's founder has negotiated hundreds of nurse travel contracts where not one hospital asked for a specific subtle concession, which any agency would gladly give. Put this inside knowledge on your side of the bargaining table.
Ascent offers an array of services that puts you in control of the supplemental staffing process. Contact us. |
