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.

Stuck in the middle: studies show growing tension between providers and payers
A growing body of data articulates the frustration healthcare providers have with payers over the growing complications caused by claim denials and prior authorizations by Intelliworx Some 44% of healthcare providers have considered leaving their position as a result of the claim denials. That’s according to a still new survey of 211 U.S.-based healthcare providers we recently published (downloadable PDF version here). Unfortunately, our survey is not an isolated example. Over the last 12 months or so, several other studies have drawn similar conclusions and three of those studies follow below. 1. Providers are “caught in the middle” as denials increase Nearly three quarters (73%) of respondents surveyed by Experian Health said “claim denials are increasing.” More astonishingly, the number jumped dramatically from 42% when compared to the same survey the company fielded two years prior. Even when claims are approved, providers aren’t done as 67% say payers are taking […]
