What AMN Healthcare Services does

Staffs hospitals with travel nurses, physicians and allied health professionals, plus workforce-scheduling software.

Bills hospitals an hourly rate for each clinician placed and pays the clinician less, so results depend on how many contract shifts hospitals buy and on the gap between the two rates. Nurse staffing carries the company, with physician placement next. Its software lets a hospital run several outside staffing agencies from one system.

Products and services

  • Travel nurse staffing
  • Locum tenens physician staffing
  • Vendor management software (VMS)

Customers

  • Hospitals and health systems

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Healthcare staffing services
  • Travel nurse/locum tenens placement
  • Workforce management technology

What could go right

  • Persistent hospital nurse shortages
  • Cross-sell technology/managed services

What could go wrong

  • Post-COVID travel-nurse rate normalization
  • Hospital cost-cutting on contract labor

Moat: narrow (scale, installed base). Large clinician networks and hospital VMS contracts give an edge over smaller staffing rivals.
