Celebrating 15 Years of a Successful and Collaborative Relationship
In 2007, Ballad Health (then Mountain States Health Alliance) began a partnership with AMN Healthcare with a mission to revamp their process for managing nursing labor. Together, we worked to evolve a fragmented model into a centralized approach, utilizing our proprietary Smart Square software to reduce nursing labor costs and implement a more efficient staffing and scheduling process.
Our combined efforts placed focus enterprise-wide, streamlining labor management across 34 facilities and 7,317 team members.
With a shared belief in predictive analytics and determination to drive change in an evolving healthcare landscape, our partnership has enabled Ballad Health to adopt a proactive staffing strategy—reducing labor costs, managing labor more effectively, and ultimately, driving better patient outcomes.
Workforce Management Solutions, Built Together
Throughout our 15-year partnership with Ballad Health, the results of our collaboration speak for themselves. Cost savings reached $7.2M annually in contract labor costs at the flagship hospital alone, extending to $8M annually tied to both centralized resource management and increased staff retention across the hospital system.

As new challenges present themselves and healthcare continues to evolve, we are eager and proud to continue our amazing relationship with Ballad Health well into the future.
