THE VKmed ADVANTAGE

We ask, listen, and learn to provide what is best for you.

1. Hard Work 24/7. We do everything we can to fulfill our clients’ needs. We fully appreciate what it means to have staff availability around the clock. Fundamentally the faith in our health care systems is at stake.
   
   
2. Technology. Clients can enter requests directly online, months in advance if necessary. Your schedule can interact with ours, ensuring that you have the coverage you need.
   
   
3. Equitable Bill Rates. Rates will not suddenly jump unreasonably because you are in a desperate situation. Our clients have rate lock-in features with our contracts. We seek solutions to staff shortages, not further complications.
   
   
4. Personal Connection. Every client operates in a different environment and as such has different needs and operational preferences. Before we supply any staff we come to a complete understanding of what you need and how you want it done.

Chief nurse executives and CEOs can agree that insufficient levels of quality nursing staff undercut a hospital’s capacity to provide patient care, while simultaneously thwarting the six aims for improving health care systems as advocated by the Institute of Medicine: safe, timely, efficient, equitable, effective, and patient-centered.

Read quotes from ANA about overworked staff:

"Staffing is an issue of both professional and personal concern. Inappropriate staffing levels can not only threaten patient health and safety, and lead to greater complexity of care, but also impact on RNs’ health and safety by increasing nurse pressure, fatigue, injury rate, and ability to provide safe care.

Staff nurses across the nation are reporting a dramatic increase in the use of mandatory overtime as a staffing tool. This dangerous staffing practice is having a negative impact on patient care, fostering medical errors, and driving nurses away from the bedside."
