Medical Staffing Solutions in Arizona

A prominent hospital in Mesa, Arizona, serves as a key referral center for the East Valley of metropolitan Phoenix and treats some of the most complex cases in the region. As a Level 1 trauma center with 629 acute care beds, the hospital faced ongoing staffing shortages, making it difficult to meet patient care demands. Fluctuating patient volumes and a highly competitive labor market further complicated their ability to maintain adequate staffing levels, creating an urgent need for a scalable and efficient workforce solution.

The hospital’s primary challenges included filling critical short-term nursing gaps and ensuring that all temporary staff met strict credentialing and compliance requirements. With a rapidly changing healthcare environment, the hospital needed a reliable staffing partner to help them streamline workforce management while maintaining high standards of patient care.

To address these issues, the hospital partnered with Gifted Healthcare to implement a customized staffing strategy. Gifted Healthcare provided access to a pre-vetted talent pool of licensed nurses, enabling quick placements to fill urgent staffing needs. Additionally, the agency introduced a streamlined compliance tracking system to ensure all temporary staff met both regulatory and hospital-specific standards. Through flexible workforce solutions, including travel contract staffing, the hospital was able to optimize labor costs and ensure consistent coverage across multiple units.

By leveraging Gifted’s expertise, the hospital improved its staffing efficiency, reduced compliance risks, and maintained high-quality patient care despite ongoing workforce challenges. This partnership allowed the hospital to navigate staffing shortages effectively while continuing to provide exceptional care to the East Valley community.
