The goal of any staffing agency should be to speed the rate at which they successfully match their candidates with their clients. However, many staffing agencies find themselves stuck at the final phase of candidate placement– the pre-employment medical assessment.
At this point, most agency processes slow down to a crawl. However, they can’t understand why this part of the placement process is so hard. What they don’t realize is that mounds of paperwork are slowing down their placement potential and causing them to fall behind their competition.
Replace Paper with Digital Records
Staffing agencies have accepted paper records for their candidates’ pre-employment exams for so long they never think to question the choice. Simply put, relying on paper records for hundreds of candidates is not a sustainable practice. Beyond the concerns of storage and security, paper records are cumbersome to transport and even more cumbersome to access. As a result, paper exam results slow down staffing companies. And if they want to survive in the digital age, they have to find a better solution.
Beyond streamlining internal document management, there is one thing a medical staffing company can do to overcome this problem. The solution? Contract with an occupational healthcare company that can provide digital medical records.
When an organization’s receives candidates’ medical records digitally, this last phase of the placement process greatly benefits. Since the agency receives and interprets candidates’ exam results more efficiently, it can more quickly determine whether the candidate meet client requirements.
Furthermore, if clients have questions about a candidate, digital medical records ensure the agency resolves the misunderstanding sooner. Consequently, collaboration is easier. Both parties can review the same information. Also, digital records make it easy for the agency to send a missing or lost document via a secure email or their HIPAA-compliant client portal.
Reduce Audit Agonies
Worried about an audit from a client? No sweat. Digital medical records provide a candidate’s entire history on file. Consequently, auditors will have the information they need quickly, reducing the pain of the audit.
Essentially every aspect of the sometimes problematic pre-employment medical examination becomes quicker and easier when everyone adopts digital technology. So if staffing companies really want to place their medical staff quicker, they need to find an occupational health provider that’s on the same digital wavelength as they are.
