ShiftWise Announces Strategic Alliance with Clearview Staffing Software

Alliance Creates Ease of Use for Customers

Portland, OR. ShiftWise, the nation's leading provider of healthcare Vendor Management Solutions (VMS), announced today that it has forged a strategic alliance with Clearview Staffing Software, the foremost provider of healthcare staffing agency software.

The focal point for this alliance will be State Hospital Associations (HA’s). Currently, nine State Hospital Associations have chosen Shiftwise’s technology to automate their state staffing programs. The key benefactor to the alliance will be staffing agencies that participate in the HA’s and also use Clearview’s TSS application. Staffing agencies that utilize the Clearview/TSS application and work through the ShiftWise system will be able to send and receive information between the two products instantly. Because the integration will eliminate dual entry of data, it will provide agencies with faster access to needs, as well as faster and more accurate application submissions. The integration will provide a seamless interface for key transactions involved in the HA staffing process. 

David Gorman, President and CEO of Clearview, commented, “Many agencies are now pursuing their own strategic growth initiatives through VMS programs such as those sponsored by State Hospital Associations. Through our alliance with Shiftwise, we continue serving as a solution provider to our agency client base, while gaining valuable exposure to new opportunities within the VMS market. Shiftwise has proven itself as a market leader and a group we are excited about partnering with.” 

Vice President of Product Marketing for ShiftWise, Jason Lander, added, “ShiftWise has been seeking to integrate with a system that allows hospitals increased access and efficiency to their staffing providers of choice. In addition, we wanted a system that would benefit our agency partners by reducing their time involved with managing a VMS system, as well as their internal business processes. Agencies using the Clearview/TSS application will benefit from a distinct advantage inherent to having an integrated product.”
