Staff recruitment and retention has become increasingly challenging for behavioral and mental healthcare facilities. Employee burnout, funding restrictions, policy restrictions, and administrative obstacles all contribute to these challenges.
With a healthcare staffing service like BOS Medical Staffing, dedicated recruiters and staffers work directly with your behavioral health facility to ensure all of your healthcare staffing needs are met. Whether you have a shortage of CNAs, LPNs, or RNs, BOS Medical has you covered.
Rising Demand for Behavioral Healthcare Nurses
The need for mental and behavioral healthcare is steadily increasing, while staff shortages persist. According to the American Psychological Association, 90% of Americans believe there is mental health crisis in the United States and 60% of mental health providers report they have no openings for new patients. Additionally, in a survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation and CNN, one-third of adults reported they could not get the mental health services they needed.
Labeled a “national emergency” by the American Hospital Association, the critical challenge in staff recruitment and retention not only impacts patient access to care, but healthcare organizations’ ability to provide that quality care. To fill in the gaps of healthcare staff shortages, a healthcare staffing agency like BOS Medical Staffing can meet all your behavioral health staffing needs.
BOS Medical Staffing Agency Nurses Can Help
BOS Medical has designated teams to recruit nurses and staff for your behavioral health facility. In the behavioral healthcare field, the need for nurses outweighs the available supply. A staffing agency has the dedicated time and staff to recruit, screen, onboard, and assign RNs, LPNs, and CNAs for your facility.
Access to Qualified Talent
With extensive networks of qualified talent, BOS Medical can fill open shifts or positions at your behavioral health facility on short or long-term notice. As your facility’s demand for changes, our recruiting and staffing teams can shift their approach. Never leave a nursing shift unfilled with the assistance of BOS.
Reduced Administrative Burden = More Focus on Patient Care
By outsourcing nurse staffing responsibilities to BOS Medical Staffing, your behavioral healthcare facility administration has more bandwidth for other responsibilities. Additionally, ensuring that your facility is fully staffed, no matter the day or time, increases the focus on patient care. Staff shortages can spread existing nurses too thin, leaving more room for error. BOS Medical makes sure your facility is fully staffed, so your administration and patients have the resources and care they deserve.
Compliance and Credibility
BOS Medical Staffing conducts background checks on each RN, LPN, and CNA. All credentials are verified, and nurses are required to take a pre-employment drug screening, physical examination, and tuberculosis screening. The onboarding process for nurses is specialized for each facility to ensure your unique nurses needs are met and each nurse is prepared to begin working at your facility.
Risk Mitigation with a W2 Medical Staffing Agency
Every nurse at BOS Medical Staffing is hired as a W2 employee. We handle payroll taxes and tax contributions, so your behavioral health facility does not face the risk of penalties and back taxes for misclassifying staff. As W2 employees, BOS Medical nurses are covered by worker’s compensation and liability insurance, preventing your facility from facing potential lawsuits.
