Search trends: Which healthcare employers are searching for providers?
Not all healthcare employers are putting the same emphasis on recruiting searches for providers; hospital hiring is hampered by a “prevailing mood of uncertainty” Despite the shortage of providers in healthcare, not all organizations are placing the same earnestness in recruiting additional help. That’s one of the more surprising observations from the annual review of provider searches by AMN Healthcare (formerly Merritt Hawkins). The company provides staffing solutions, among other services, for healthcare organizations. Every year it compiles data from its searches to produce reports. This year AMN published its 32nd edition based on more than 1,400 searches during a 12-month period ending March 31, 2025. While every healthcare employer seemingly needs additional staff, some categories are noticeably more active than others. We previously covered some of the quantitative healthcare provider compensation benchmarks. In this post, we’re looking at search trends by the type of healthcare employer segmented in the […]
6 generative AI use cases across the federal government
Federal agencies are exploring ways to extract and standardize unstructured data, analyze high volumes of text-based feedback and improve customer experience by Intelliworx Federal agencies spend more than $100 billion annually on technology, including products and services, according to reporting by Jory Heckman. About 80% of that is spent maintaining the sprawling, and in some cases, dated IT infrastructure that already exists. Historically, modernizing those systems tends to be a necessarily slow and methodical process. This is because changes to the IT infrastructure can have unintended consequences. Yet, Heckman, in a story for the Federal News Network, notes, artificial intelligence (AI) may offer a better approach – a continuous, iterative and agile approach. At the time of this writing, 41 federal agencies are exploring 2,133 artificial intelligence (AI) use cases that have been publicly disclosed. As a software company that serves the federal government, we are experimenting with AI as […]
The ‘accidental’ building of recruiting software for rural healthcare
While we never intended to build recruiting software for rural healthcare, the power of observation led us to build a crucial solution for an underserved market by Intelliworx There’s an old saying that one problem tends to lead to another. Yet for an observant technologist, sometimes the most unlikely problems in business are synonymous with opportunity. Such was the case with our Healthcare Workforce Management solution. It’s a software product designed to help rural healthcare facilities reduce the time and expense of recruiting providers. The twist in the story is that we didn’t set out with the intention of building this product; rather, we discovered the opportunity in the course of delivering a completely different product. Digitizing forms is just the start of a business process Intelliworx got started more than 20 years ago with the simple idea of helping government agencies modernize their reported 23,000 different forms. Yet digitizing […]
Thought experiment: Consolidating a dozen different federal permitting applications
Manufacturers must apply for permits from as many as a dozen different agencies, adding significant cost and time for everyone; all those forms could be consolidated into one streamlined process by Intelliworx The most impactful government modernization projects streamline business processes and deliver a better customer experience (CX). This has practical benefits, including: reducing the time it takes to complete a business process; bringing transparency and accountability to each step in the process; and automating tasks like reminders and reporting. Martha Dorris, the “godmother of customer experience,” illustrated the benefits it provides for government efficiency in an interview last year. She used the IRS as an example. Tax law is complicated but redesigning the process with CX in mind simplifies the burden on filers. It also cuts the number of help desk calls for the government. Yet such efforts don’t just reduce administrative costs – there’s an immediate benefit on […]
Intelliworx streamlines healthcare provider recruiting with credentialing data integration
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Strategic partnership with a trusted data provider helps healthcare recruiters identify ideal provider candidates earlier in the recruiting process Williamsburg, VA – June 26, 2025 – Intelliworx announced today it added privileging and credentialing data to its Healthcare Workforce Management software suite. The data, from a trusted provider, is integrated into the platform. This enables healthcare recruiters to obtain a comprehensive view of eligible candidates earlier in the recruiting process. Healthcare Workforce Management integrates data from nearly every category of provider data available including doctors, physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs) and nurses. This allows them to see the ‘known universe’ of eligible candidates from the beginning. The benefit streamlines the recruiting process and prevents avoidable issues – such as making a job offer to a sanctioned candidate – which are often discovered too late. “Traditionally, recruiting healthcare providers is a costly, work-intensive and time-consuming process,” […]
27 healthcare statistics and benchmarks summarizing the recruiting challenges in 2025
Medicine is still a calling, but recruiting providers is twice as hard today; as many as 1,300 new employers vie for the same talent pool by Intelliworx If you want to solve a problem, then you’ve got to spend a lot of time understanding it. That’s why we invest a lot of effort into pouring over healthcare industry surveys and studies. We’ve even fielded one or two of our own. More recently, we filtered through several dozen reports looking for statistics and benchmarks that summarize the healthcare recruiting challenges facing the community. Below is a tidy list of such statistics that are organized around these categories: General healthcare labor statistics Provider recruiting and retention statistics Rural healthcare recruiting statistics Healthcare compensation and benefits statistics Nursing recruiting and retention statistics General healthcare labor statistics 1. U.S. healthcare will be short 86,000 physicians by 2036 The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) […]
Why are rural areas losing independent healthcare providers?
A myriad of challenges, such as the economics of reimbursement, burnout and growing administrative burdens, add to the complications of running an independent medical practice by Intelliworx Rural areas have lost 2,500 independent physicians during a five-year period from 2019 to 2024. At the same time, the number of physician-owned practices in rural areas dropped by 3,300. That’s according to a new data analysis by the Physicians Advocacy Institute and Avalere, a healthcare consultancy. The researchers examined changes in location data in the IQVIA OneKey database during the period. The database contains a practice location that corresponds to a physician’s National Provider Identifier (NPI). The study revealed the following findings: The volume of independent rural physicians declined by 43%; The volume of independent medical practices declined by 42%; The market share of independent rural physicians fell from 42% to 25%; The market share of independent medical practices declined from 58% […]
10 senior tech leaders talk AI use in modernization for the federal government
Federal Chief AI Officers say the benefits of AI outweigh the risks, the challenge is finding practical use cases that scale that can be scaled across government IT by Intelliworx The federal retirement management system (RMS) is getting a boost from artificial intelligence (AI), according to reporting by FedSmith. The processing of retirement packets has long been a weak spot for the federal government. There’s a backlog of applications, too. Those applications are all still processed by hand. That typically takes months, and in some of the more complicated cases, can take years. Ian Smith, who penned the piece, reports that the average processing time for the nearly 9,000 retirement packets approved in April 2025 was 49 days. He notes, while AI isn’t being used to digitize old paper records, it is preventing new applications from piling up. The system has reportedly been tested for accuracy and is functioning as […]
New survey finds healthcare talent woes spreading to leadership
Recruiting and retention challenges extend beyond providers: 74% of healthcare leaders polled said they have been approached with a new job offer recently; nearly half plan to leave in the next 12 months by Intelliworx Healthcare facilities are already facing an uphill battle in attracting and retaining providers. Now it seems that the challenge is extending to the leadership ranks in healthcare as well. That’s according to a new survey by B.E. Smith Leadership Solutions, a subsidiary of AMN Healthcare. The survey polled 588 healthcare professionals in leadership roles and spelled out the findings in a report titled 2025 Healthcare Leadership Trends. The survey found that while most (79%) are generally satisfied with their positions, nearly half (46%) of healthcare leaders surveyed plan to leave their current role in the next 12 months. Further, more than 6 in 10 respondents (65%) said they plan to leave in a 3–5-year window. The […]
Can healthcare employers do more to ease provider strain over insurance demands? [MedCity News]
A new survey reveals that growing tensions between healthcare providers and insurance payers are taking a toll on morale, efficiency, and retention. Nearly three in four providers say payers deny treatments at least some of the time, with many citing the burden of navigating claims as excessive and demoralizing. Alarmingly, 44% have considered leaving their jobs over the issue. While some employers are seen as supportive, nearly half of respondents believe more could be done to help. Healthcare organizations are encouraged to assess internal burdens, identify best practices, and address payer-related stress during hiring and exit processes to better support their care teams and safeguard patient-focused care.
