This inaugural class of the SIA Healthcare Staffing 100<\/a> comes at a pivotal time \u2014 the industry is returning to growth after three tough years. Staffing leaders are taking what they\u2019ve learned going forward by engaging AI, advising clients on future workforce needs and keeping a focus on practitioners and\u00a0patients.<\/p>\n

These leaders are among a select group of healthcare staffing executives advancing the industry amid a fight for talent and shifting buyers\u2019\u00a0expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBehind every healthcare staffing placement is a patient who needs care and a clinician whose work matters,\u201d SIA President Ursula Williams said. \u201cOur inaugural Healthcare Staffing 100 recognizes leaders whose vision, innovation and commitment are moving this industry forward. Their contributions demonstrate the vital connection between a strong healthcare workforce and the communities it\u00a0serves.\u201d<\/p>\n

SIA\u2019s Healthcare Staffing 100 leaders come from across the segment \u2014 including travel nursing, locum tenens and allied healthcare. Many are taking on change and bringing new\u00a0ideas.<\/p>\n

Here are key ideas from some of those on the\u00a0list:<\/p>\n

\u201cStop thinking like a vendor,\u201d said Tony Munafo, CEO of healthcare staffing firm Prolink. \u201cThe firms growing market share are becoming true workforce planning partners, helping clients anticipate challenges and build strategies for the\u00a0future.\u201dStay curious, said Carolina Araya, CEO of Elite365 Healthcare Workforce Solutions. \u201cChallenge \u2018we\u2019ve always done it this way.\u2019 Assess honestly, find the gaps and act; progress beats\u00a0perfection.\u201dAI is boosting clinician engagement and delivering efficiency and \u201cat times doubling velocity on AI-assisted work,\u201d said John Maaske, founder and CEO of Triage\u00a0Staffing.\u201cMake every decision through the lens of the practitioner and the patients you serve,\u201d said Nicola Soares, president of Kelly Education, which includes Kelly Pediatric Therapy, at Kelly\u00a0Services.<\/p>\n

SIA\u2019s Healthcare Staffing 100<\/a> list comes as healthcare staffing revenue in the\u00a0US is poised to grow<\/a>\u00a01% this year to $39 billion after shrinking 8% in 2025 and 26% the year before. It\u2019s also set to grow next year amid upheaval from AI and client\u00a0expectations.<\/p>\n

Leaders on the list will also be recognized at SIA\u2019s Healthcare Staffing Summit<\/a> set for Nov. 9-11 in Arlington,\u00a0Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This inaugural class of the SIA Healthcare Staffing 100 comes at a pivotal time \u2014 the industry is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675099,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[103,397,396,61,60],"class_list":["post-675098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-health-care","tag-healthcare","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
