ScrubSync vs. Other Healthcare Staffing Platforms: What Sets Us Apart?
Choosing the right surgical staffing platform is crucial for efficiency and cost savings. In this blog post, we compare ScrubSync to competitors, highlighting how our on-demand staffing, full provider control, and seamless scheduling give surgical administrators a smarter, more flexible solution.
Introduction
For surgical facilities, finding the right staffing solution is essential to ensuring high-quality patient care while keeping costs under control. Traditional staffing models often result in inefficiencies, expensive contracts, and limited flexibility. While platforms like Medely and other healthcare staffing solutions have emerged, they don’t always address the specific needs of surgical facilities.
ScrubSync was designed by healthcare professionals to provide a more tailored, flexible, and cost-effective alternative for surgery centers and hospitals. In this post, we’ll compare ScrubSync to other staffing platforms and highlight the advantages that make it the smarter choice for surgical administrators.
Key Differences Between ScrubSync & Competitors
1. More Control Over Staffing: On-Demand & Direct Requests
One of the biggest challenges facilities face is balancing flexibility with consistency when it comes to staffing. Many healthcare staffing platforms only allow facilities to post open shifts, leaving them waiting for a response from available professionals.
ScrubSync:
Facilities have the option to either post open shifts or directly request specific professionals, ensuring they get the exact expertise they need.
Competitors:
Typically limit facilities to posting shifts without direct provider selection, making it harder to ensure continuity of care with trusted professionals.
This dual-approach system ensures that facilities can quickly fill shifts while maintaining control over their staffing decisions.
2. Cost-Effective Staffing Solutions
Keeping labor costs manageable is a priority for any healthcare facility. Many staffing platforms impose high service fees or have limited flexibility in how facilities manage their budgets.
ScrubSync:
Facilities can set their own budgets by selecting professionals at the hourly rate they are comfortable with.
Competitors:
Often have fixed pricing structures that limit flexibility and can result in higher overall costs.
With ScrubSync, facilities don’t have to overpay for coverage. By allowing administrators to choose their own rates and staffing preferences, we make it easier to keep costs predictable and under control.
3. Seamless Billing & Transparent Fees
Billing and payroll can be a major headache for surgical facilities when working with staffing platforms. Many competitors rely on complex agreements, hidden fees, or inconsistent invoicing cycles.
ScrubSync:
Uses Stripe for seamless transactions and provides weekly batched invoices to simplify bookkeeping.
Competitors:
May have unclear fee structures or require extensive contract negotiations, adding administrative burden.
By streamlining payment processing, ScrubSync ensures that administrators can focus on running their facility instead of dealing with financial complications.
4. Local, Healthcare-Driven Innovation
National staffing firms often struggle to quickly adapt to the evolving needs of surgical facilities. ScrubSync, however, is a local startup built by healthcare professionals, allowing us to implement improvements based on real user feedback.
ScrubSync:
Developed in the Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area, allowing for rapid updates and direct customer support tailored to the needs of local facilities.
Competitors:
Larger, corporate-run platforms may take longer to implement changes and often have rigid policies that don’t account for unique facility needs.
This agility allows ScrubSync to continuously enhance the platform, providing administrators with a tool that evolves with their staffing demands.
5. Exclusive Access to Commonwealth Surgical Professionals (CSP)
A major advantage of ScrubSync is its partnership with Commonwealth Surgical Professionals (CSP), a private surgical assistant group that offers facilities an alternative staffing solution.
ScrubSync + CSP:
Facilities can book experienced surgical assistants who bill insurance for their services, significantly lowering direct staffing costs.
Competitors:
Typically require facilities to pay full rates for surgical assistants without an insurance-billing option.
This partnership makes ScrubSync an even more cost-effective choice for surgical centers, providing high-quality assistance while reducing financial strain.
