WHY:
Use of internal staffing agencies offer numerous advantages, including the ability to utilize internal resources to fill staffing gaps, minimize reliance on external agency staff, reduce labor costs, and improve continuity of care. These flexible staffing initiatives are gaining nationwide adoption in order to provide workers with a variety of scheduling options and a gig-like work environment, helping to reduce the risk of staff burnout while attracting and retaining talent seeking a better work-life balance. Internal float pools also play a vital role in enhancing patient outcomes by maintaining consistent staffing levels using employees who are familiar with existing hospital procedures and workflows. This continuity of care facilitates a smooth transition between various nursing units, leading to increased patient safety and higher levels of patient satisfaction.
