MERIT CASE STUDY
Favorite Healthcare Staffing
Audit-ready personnel accountability
Challenge
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency’s (IEMA) health care partner, Favorite Healthcare Staffing, needed to issue verified staff credentials and track thousands of hours at over 100 critical sites during the COVID-19 response and aftermath.
Merit’s solution
Digital identity solutions enable Favorite Healthcare Staffing to issue, edit, and revoke credentials remotely, in real-time. The agency accurately tracks hours and compliance at over 100 sites. Secure data automatically generates discrepancy-free reports for payroll and cost recovery.
Without Merit
Professional staffing agencies often use paper-based or mixed technology systems for personnel accountability. These are time-consuming, cannot accurately capture shift location, and require valuable staff hours to create reports. Discrepancies are frequently missed and cause costly payroll and reimbursement-grant application errors.
OVERVIEW
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency’s partner, Favorite Healthcare Staffing, needed to rapidly adopt a personnel accountability system for temporary health professionals at over 100 COVID-19 response facilities and beyond. The solution needed to generate accurate reporting of all shift hours for payroll and cost recovery grants.
Using Merit digital identity staffing solutions, Favorite Healthcare Staffing issued, edited, and revoked credentials remotely in real-time. Staff used Merit Check-in at physical and/or virtual check-in kiosks to ensure that all professionals met training, testing, waivers, and security requirements.
