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 […]
7 creative ways for rural healthcare employers to recruit providers
From targeted recruitment incentives to community partnerships, less conventional but practical programs may help rural hospitals and clinics successfully attract top medical talent by Intelliworx Recruiting providers is a complicated, expensive and time-consuming process. The persistent shortage of healthcare talent adds layers of complexity. To that end, there’s a voluminous body of healthcare recruiting statistics that is troubling: The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) estimates the U.S. “will face a physician shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036.” “Nearly half (48%) of hospital executives” surveyed by FTI Consulting found that many “believe that their hospitals are not fully equipped to handle current patient volumes.” “More than half (58%) of health system executives expect workforce challenges, such as talent shortages, the need for upskilling, and retention issues, to influence their organizational strategies in 2025,” according to Deloitte. It’s worth noting this is happening at a time when the number […]
11 ways FDonline simplifies financial disclosure requirements for federal agencies
Nearly 40 ethics offices in the federal government use FDonline to make it easier for civil servants to file and for compliance professionals to certify those disclosures and mitigate potential conflicts of interest by Intelliworx Financial disclosure isn’t the most glamorous part of a government job, but it’s incredibly important for transparency. The federal government manages an incredibly large budget – $6.75 trillion in 2024 – and all of it, including borrowing, belongs to the taxpayers. The temptation to influence spending decisions for personal gain is a rare but consequential event. When it does happen, the damage to public trust is difficult to repair, so the government has policies in place to avoid such conflicts of interest. One such policy is the requirement for government employees in a position to influence spending decisions to disclose their personal financial holdings annually. Those holdings are reviewed by their agencies ethics offices for […]
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 […]
