What is an intelligent interview? The technology to digitize government forms at scale
Intelligent interviews convert paper forms into digital data collection, which streamlines government processes and makes the data securely available for reuse and integration by Intelliworx We use the term “intelligent interview” often in federal technology circles. The nearly forty federal agencies we are fortunate to call customers know exactly what this term means. Yet there are a number that do not, so this is an effort to define the term. The first thing to understand is that government forms are a vehicle to collect data. Whether the form is on paper or online, that collection of data initiates a process. While many processes have been digitized, the government publishes tens of thousands of forms, and that means modernization is a continuous task. Scanning paper into a system or even turning paper forms into PDFs (portable document format) isn’t enough. Data, in these formats, has limited flexibility to be used elsewhere. […]
What ethics questions do federal employees ask most frequently? [The Federal Drive]
Federal ethics offices across executive branch agencies field thousands of questions annually, with gift acceptance, outside employment, and personal financial interests representing the top three categories of concern. According to Intelliworx’s analysis of the Office of Government Ethics’ latest survey data, financial conflicts dominate federal employee inquiries as government workers navigate complex situations where external parties seek to influence decisions affecting billions in taxpayer dollars. On a recent appearance on The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton, John Martin, Business Analyst with Intelliworx, explains that while most federal employees act with good intentions, daily work pressures can obscure potential conflicts until problems emerge, making proactive identification essential. Digital transformation has revolutionized federal ethics compliance through automated disclosure systems that significantly improve reporting accuracy while reducing administrative burden. Intelliworx supports financial disclosure automation for dozens of federal agencies, providing technology that pre-populates recurring information, flags discrepancies between reporting periods, and maintains searchable […]
How long does it take for a healthcare employer to fill a provider vacancy?
It takes about three months to fill a provider vacancy at a median cost of roughly $16,000 per search; another three to four months are required to complete credentialing The time it takes to fill open vacancies for provider positions continues to edge longer as demand for physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs) remains high. That’s our observation after reviewing a new report titled the “2025 Physician and Provider Recruitment Benchmarking Report” by AAPPR. The report is based on data for the calendar year 2024. It includes responses from 128 healthcare organizations that provided data on some 15,000 searches. The data lean toward larger organizations, as more than half of the responding organizations were from multi-hospital or integrated health delivery systems. Even so, the report provides the most current and comprehensive data available at the moment. It’s a practical tool for healthcare employers trying to understand the cost and time […]
7 actionable steps rural healthcare can take to attract providers besides compensation
Following these practical ideas for attracting and retaining providers is essential; the competitive landscape for provider talent has never been more challenging and is forecasted to remain that way for the foreseeable future by Intelliworx A recent survey of more than 700 doctors and advanced practice providers (APPs), such as nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs), put a notable twist on provider compensation: it’s not all about money. he survey found that while compensation is clearly an important factor in recruiting, there are a number of non-monetary factors that providers find persuasive. This finding isn’t an isolated example either. We’ve highlighted a wide range of credible statistics that suggest a career in medicine is still a calling. This could well be an opportunity for rural healthcare. While healthcare is adding jobs faster than the economy, many rural facilities face financial pressures that strain their ability to match their urban […]
Mitigating conflicts: The top government ethics issues where employees seek guidance
Survey data from 143 executive branches informs government ethics shops as to where they should invest time to educate civil servants and political appointees on financial disclosure requirements Financial disclosure is an unenviable, but necessary, annual task for certain government employees. Broadly speaking, those who are in a position to influence how taxpayer money is spent are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest in their personal holdings. As a company, we do a considerable amount of work in this area. Nearly 40 federal agencies have relied on Intelliworx to modernize, customize, and streamline their financial disclosure process. We provide enabling technology that helps ethics offices document, mitigate, track, and report on those disclosures. Although the process of financial disclosure is typically managed by any given agency’s ethics office, the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) strives to keep tabs at a high-level. As part of this work, executive branch […]
Compensation alone is not enough to attract and retain healthcare providers [study]
Survey of 730 clinicians shows factors other than compensation, such as autonomy, flexibility, and culture, are untapped competitive advantages employers should use to attract and retain talent Conventional economics tells us that when demand outpaces supply, prices rise. That’s precisely what’s happening in the market for healthcare talent. The prolonged shortage of healthcare talent is driving up the average provider compensation. While this affects every healthcare employer, it’s especially challenging for rural healthcare to address because they don’t have the volume of patients to make up the margin. This means competing on compensation is a tough sell. Yet a new survey of 730 clinicians, including physicians and advanced practice providers (APP), suggests employers may not need to try. The findings were detailed in a new report titled, Survey insights: What to know about the clinician workforce today. The report summarized the findings this way: “Meet the market on compensation. Outperform […]
Good design and customer experience (CX) is a bipartisan issue we should all get behind
More than aesthetics, good design across websites, apps, and even those arduous government forms, drives efficiency that saves time and taxpayer money by Intelliworx The U.S. government maintains an estimated 23,000 websites. Many are outdated, expensive to operate, and difficult to navigate. For example, less than one in five “federal websites use code from USWDS [United States Web Design System], contributing to inconsistent and varying user experiences.” Further, nearly half (45%) are “not mobile friendly” and only 6% earned a “good” rating for performance on mobile devices. Yet mobile devices are ubiquitous. It’s been ten-plus years since Google searches on mobile devices surpassed those on a desktop. That illustrates how reliant people are on these tools for communication, including communication with their government. That’s the crux of the problem the America by Design initiative aims to solve. A new Executive Order authorizing the initiative sets it up this way: “America […]
Four Effective Strategies for Recruiting Healthcare Providers to Rural Communities (3RNET)
Rural healthcare facilities face mounting financial and staffing challenges. With high operating costs, older patient populations, and increasing competition for medical talent, these facilities struggle to attract and retain providers. Simply matching metropolitan salaries is not enough. Recruiting success depends on appealing to providers’ deeper motivations. By highlighting the sense of purpose, lifestyle benefits, and community impact unique to rural practice, organizations can reposition themselves as meaningful alternatives to urban healthcare settings. To strengthen recruitment efforts, facilities must go beyond financial incentives and adopt a holistic approach. This means positioning rural healthcare as both a personal and professional calling, crafting authentic messaging about lifestyle and professional benefits, timing recruitment strategically with vacancy management, and implementing targeted tactics through both in-house and external channels. Long-term investments, such as rural residency programs, leadership development, and ambassador initiatives, help create a sustainable pipeline of providers who view rural practice not as a compromise […]
Intelliworx to Exhibit Healthcare Recruiting Software Solution, Designed for Rural Health, at 3RNET Annual Conference
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Annual conference brings together healthcare providers and professionals dedicated to solving the challenges of rural healthcare recruitment and retention Williamsburg, VA – August 21, 2025 – Intelliworx announced today it will exhibit at the 3RNET Annual Conference, held on August 26-27, 2025, in Reno, Nevada. The conference brings together healthcare professionals from business, government and academia to focus on solving the challenges of recruiting and retaining providers in underserved areas. “There’s been a shortage of providers across all of healthcare for a while now, but this problem hits rural healthcare communities even harder,” said Intelliworx Sales Director Patrick Youngblood, DBA, SPHR. “Medical students tend to stay in metropolitan areas where they trained, which leaves rural areas with a smaller pool of candidates – and it’s happening at a time when rural physicians are retiring at a rate faster than they can be replaced.” While Intelliworx is better […]
10 ways HWM helps rural healthcare recruiting shorten time-to-fill
Purpose-built software suite helps rural recruiters streamline every step of the process – from identifying ideal candidates to credentialing – reducing the time, costs, and administrative burden of healthcare recruiting by Intelliworx One of the keys to overcoming adversity is to focus on the things you can control. What may sound like personal development advice also fits well in a business setting. The challenge facing rural healthcare recruiters is a good example. The shortage of provider talent, while affecting the entire healthcare sector, has hit rural healthcare especially hard. Healthcare recruiters can’t control the availability of the talent pool, but they can improve the recruiting process to be in a better position to make an offer when the opportunity permits. That’s the central thesis behind our Healthcare Workforce Management (HWM) solution. We discovered this business pain through our work with the Healthcare Professional Scholarship Program (HPSP), which is managed by the […]
