ShiftMed, a top provider of healthcare workforce technology, has introduced its Workforce AI Suite, a full set of smart tools designed to automate shift assignments and make workforce management easier for hospitals. This new tool comes at a time when healthcare systems are struggling with money issues caused by changes in Medicaid payments and higher labor expenses.

At the center of the suite is ShiftAdvisor, which uses AI to match healthcare workers with open shifts based on when they’re available, what they’re paid, and where they are located. Over 94% of workers have opted in, and more than 3. 3 million shifts have been matched so far. Another part, Intelligent Routing, has already moved over 6. 4 million shifts to the most affordable labor options, cutting premium labor costs and saving an average of $300 per shift.
The Instant Call-In Fulfillment feature automatically fills up last-minute job openings with a 71% success rate, saving time that would otherwise be spent doing manual calls. ShiftMed Flex handles everything from checking credentials, onboarding, and ensuring compliance all through one place, and users report a 29-day shorter time to hire and saving two hours per scheduling and credentialing task.

Todd Walrath, CEO of ShiftMed, said, “Hospitals today are dealing with the challenge of keeping high-quality patient care while working with smaller teams and tighter budgets.
Our AI Suite helps healthcare organizations automate complex workforce tasks, letting them spend their money more wisely on their biggest expense, labor, while lowering costs and improving efficiency. “
By using AI in staffing operations, ShiftMed wants to cut down on manual work, make healthcare workers happier, and ensure there are enough staff on shift.
Early users say the suite helps grow their own staff, use fewer contract workers, and gives managers a clearer picture of how their workforce is doing. The platform works with existing HR and scheduling systems, providing a clear, data-based view of labor performance. With the Workforce AI Suite, ShiftMed continues its goal to improve labor efficiency in healthcare, cut costs, and help hospitals deliver better, more consistent patient care.
