CHG Healthcare Launches Nursesmart, Bringing the Market’s #1 VMS Expertise to Nurse Staffing

New vendor management system (VMS) delivers smarter, more efficient workforce solutions for health systems

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CHG Healthcare, the leader in healthcare workforce solutions, announces the launch of Nursesmart, a next-generation vendor management system (VMS) designed specifically for nurse staffing. Nursesmart builds on the proven success of Locumsmart, the #1 physician VMS, which provides access to 82% of the locum tenens market. Now, CHG extends this expertise to nursing, giving healthcare organizations greater transparency, control, and efficiency in their staffing processes.

“With Nursesmart, we’re bringing the same game-changing technology and expertise that made Locumsmart the industry leader,” said Thomas Lanvers, Senior Vice President. “Healthcare systems can now manage both physician and nurse staffing within one platform—gaining deeper insights, controlling costs, and improving patient care.”

Nursesmart delivers three key benefits:

  • Control – Healthcare organizations own their staffing decisions, reducing reliance on managed service providers (MSPs) and optimizing costs.
  • Business Intelligence – Real-time dashboards and reports provide transparency into staffing and spending.
  • Efficiency – Automated administrative tasks eliminate unnecessary calls and emails for recruiters.

“We know contingent workforce staffing is complex, and our clients are seeking a seamless solution that integrates both nurse and physician staffing,” said Matt Patterson, VP, Engineering. “Nursesmart delivers a smarter, more connected approach, backed by our deep expertise in workforce planning.”

“With access to 82% of the locum market through Locumsmart, we’ve seen firsthand how the right VMS transforms workforce management,” added Melinda Giese, SVP, Client Solutions. “Nursesmart now extends that same level of transparency and control to nursing, giving health systems complete oversight of their contingent labor spend.”
