The Bridging Healthcare Workforce Gaps series explores the eight most common pain points driving inefficiency, overspend, and burnout across healthcare organizations — and how Kimedics helps transform workforce chaos into Total Staffing Intelligence.
Healthcare doesn’t have a staffing shortage—it has a visibility problem.
Every day, leaders in medical groups, hospitals, and health systems make critical workforce decisions without a unified view of who’s working where, how much it’s costing, or what’s coming next.
The result: Misaligned schedules, reactive coverage, and millions lost to inefficiency and avoidable locum spend.
The Challenge: One Workforce, Too Many Systems
Most healthcare organizations manage their workforce through a maze of disconnected tools.
Scheduling. Onboarding. Credentialing. Locum contracting. Payroll.
Each function runs on a different system—or worse, a spreadsheet.
What this creates is a dangerous form of operational blindness.
- Finance sees staffing costs but can’t connect them to coverage or productivity.
- Operations knows who’s on shift, but not what those shifts truly cost.
- Clinical leaders see burnout and turnover but lack the data to rebalance workloads.
Without a single source of truth, every team is solving a different version of the same problem.
By the time staffing data is reconciled, the opportunity to act proactively has already passed.
“I can’t easily tell who’s working where, how much it’s costing us, or where we’re using the most locums.”
— Medical Group COO, Midwest Health System
The Impact: Missed Insights, Missed Opportunities
Fragmented systems don’t just create extra work—they hide critical insights that directly affect access, efficiency, and margin.
- Reactive staffing leads to last-minute locum use and premium rates.
- Data discrepancies cause misalignment between finance and operations.
- Delayed reporting makes forecasting and budgeting guesswork.
When leadership can’t see accurate, real-time data, every staffing decision becomes a best guess—and the costs add up quickly.
The Opportunity: Visibility That Drives Strategy
A unified workforce view changes everything.
When scheduling, spend, and provider data flow through a single connected system, healthcare organizations gain the clarity to:
- Forecast staffing needs and align resources ahead of demand.
- Compare internal vs. external coverage to reduce locum dependency.
- Identifybudget overages before they happen—not after.
- Measure provider utilization to balance workloads and prevent burnout.
In short, visibility replaces reactivity with control.
