ShiftMed announced on April 22 its acquisition of CareerStaff Unlimited from Genesis HealthCare, a national post-acute care provider.
CareerStaff is a leader in the delivery of workforce solutions and staffing services for the healthcare industry, with a national network of offices throughout the United States. CareerStaff’s services include local, travel and per diem employment opportunities for nurses, therapists and pharmacists. Additionally, CareerStaff provides managed service programs to hundreds of healthcare facilities nationally.
ShiftMed’s workforce management platform empowers healthcare facilities across all segments – acute care hospitals, post-acute care centers and in-home settings – to effectively manage staffing challenges and optimize their workforce. The company seamlessly connects more than 2,000 facilities with a network of 350,000 credentialed nursing professionals.
ShiftMed, in combination with CareerStaff, will provide services to Genesis at more than 200 skilled nursing and 1,200 Powerback Rehabilitation locations, under a seven-year exclusive agreement. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“CareerStaff has been integral to Genesis affiliated locations over the past decade, and we are thrilled to leverage ShiftMed’s On-Demand technology and internal staffing platform to enhance patient outcomes and achieve optimal staffing levels,” said David Harrington, Chief Executive Officer of Genesis.
According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this acquisition represents the third healthcare staffing deal of 2024. This is a significant decrease from last year, when there were 11 transactions announced in the healthcare staffing specialty between January 1, 2023, and April 22, 2023.
