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.
