Overview
Per Diem & Shift Staffing covers firms and platforms providing on-demand nursing and clinical staff to fill individual shifts at healthcare facilities. It is the corner most disrupted by technology, as gig-style apps (ShiftMed, CareRev, Clipboard Health, ShiftKey) let facilities fill shifts directly with credentialed clinicians.
The on-demand model — a marketplace matching facilities and clinicians by shift — has attracted significant venture funding and is reshaping local staffing. Demand is driven by flexibility for clinicians and facilities' need to fill gaps efficiently.
