“Adding SpinFusion to our growing workforce management portfolio is particularly important given today’s challenging healthcare environment,” said BJ Schaknowski, CEO of symplr. “Physician demand far exceeds supply and optimal staffing logistics are essential to an organization’s bottom line. SpinFusion’s web and mobile staffing solutions enable physician schedules to be easily managed and viewed in real time for maximum productivity.”
symplr’s workforce management SaaS solutions make it easier for healthcare organizations to hire, keep, optimize, and grow their entire workforce and improve provider workflow so that they run more efficiently. They empower organizations to make data-driven staffing decisions to help contain and manage labor costs, improve productivity, increase staff engagement, and positively impact patient outcomes. The addition of SpinFusion enables symplr to better address the unique and increasingly complex needs of physician scheduling. In doing so, physician schedules are optimized, and patient outcomes—and satisfaction—are improved.
“The release of our fifth-generation staffing logistics platform this year was built on our nearly two decades of experience and is positioned for a market paradigm shift. We are thrilled to join symplr, a true juggernaut in the healthcare technology space,” said Matt Mendez, MD, Founder of SpinFusion. “Together, this combination creates a new class-leading option for healthcare enterprises. Finally, the patchwork quilt of inadequate technology can be replaced by one optimized platform with two equally important goals: better operations, better outcomes.”
