DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prolucent ®, a leading provider of enterprise-wide healthcare workforce optimization software and services, today announced an agreement with Houston Methodist, recognized as a U.S. News & World Report’s best hospitals in Texas for 12 years in a row, to implement the company’s vendor-neutral MSP services and LiquidCompass® VMS+, a flexible workforce platform and vendor management system.

“Many health systems like Houston Methodist are creating internal staffing pools as healthcare workers seek flexibility and work-life balance, while hospitals aim to optimize staffing costs and leverage their trained personnel,” stated Bruce Springer, co-founder and CEO of Prolucent. “While reliance on external third-party agencies for temporary staffing cannot be entirely eliminated, a hybrid approach that integrates both internal and external contingent labor resources - with a prioritized staffing model that taps internal resources first - reduces labor costs and enhances staff satisfaction and employee retention.
