How does the platform run an agency reduction program with auditable savings?
Agency spend is the single biggest controllable labor cost. Most operators know the number is too high but cannot tell you why a specific shift went to agency or who approved the rate.
Detail
Every agency shift is captured with the reason it was not filled internally — credential gap, call-out, acuity surge, or scheduling error. Agency rates are benchmarked against internal blended rate per role. A weekly agency dashboard shows hours, dollars, reasons, and trend by community. Agency-to-internal conversion programs run against the float pool with visible ROI.
Expected outcome: agency spend drops 20–40% in the first six months, with residual agency hours justified by documented credential or acuity gaps rather than scheduling failures. The result is sustainable only when the float pool and credentialing workflows are also running.
