Frequently Asked Questions

How does implementing a managed services program benefit you?

Implementing a managed services program will result in significant hard and soft dollar savings. After conducting a thorough analysis and needs assessment, FocusOne Solutions will establish an optimal rate that will enable open positions to be filled with high quality professionals in a timely fashion.

Your staff will be able to focus on their core competencies rather than managing multiple staffing companies. In addition, FocusOne Solutions ensures a consistent process for Joint Commission compliance. All approved Affiliate Providers will be required to follow the same pre-qualification guidelines, resulting in identical documentation for each professional.

Your cost savings will increase and so will your level of patient care. Our consistent qualification processes and ability to effectively source and place skilled professionals means your patients will receive the quality of care they count on and deserve.

Does your solution cover both Per Diem and Travel staff?


Per diem, contingent, and direct hire staffing can all be included in a managed services program. We are a full service solutions provider. Our customized solutions are based on the unique needs of each client.

What happens to healthcare professionals who are currently working on assignment at our facility?

Any contingent staff currently working will finish his or her contract. Extensions of contracts after the "go live date" will only be granted to those healthcare professionals who are employees of approved Affiliate Providers.

What happens to our current contracts with staffing firms?

The contracts with current companies remain in effect until the "go live date" of the FocusOne Solutions contract. Any Affiliate Providers that the hospital would like to continue working with will be invited to participate in the managed services program in hopes of maintaining that relationship.

How many Affiliate Providers currently work with FocusOne Solutions?

There are currently 90 Affiliate Providers who work with FocusOne Solutions on either a contract or direct hire basis. We are continually evaluating new companies who meet our client's requirements and consistently provide skilled, highly proficient, and dedicated healthcare professionals.

How are job orders sent to affiliate providers?

Job orders are sent to affiliate providers via email. FocusOne Solutions is committed to vendor neutrality, so this automated system ensures all Affiliate Providers receive job orders at the same time.

How long does it take to get started?

It typically takes 60-90 days to implement a managed services solution. The implementation period primarily depends on the number of healthcare facilities in the system and the scope of the services.

How long have you been in business?

FocusOne Solutions was formed in 2003 in response to the industry demands for a streamlined supplemental staffing process. Our parent company, C&A Industries, Inc. has been providing human capital management solutions in a variety of industries, for over 35 years.

How long is the managed services contract period?

The term of the contract is typically three years.

How much does your service cost?

We include our fee in the hourly bill rates, which are outlined in the contract.
