The Staffing Company Trying to Turn Hospital Chaos Into a Control Panel
Cross Country Healthcare spent four decades putting people into hard-to-fill shifts. Its next act is to make the whole labor system visible - and, under new private ownership, prove that staffing data can be as valuable as staffing itself.
AMN Healthcare
AMN began by placing traveling nurses. Forty years later, it sells health systems something broader: the people, software and operating discipline to keep care moving when labor gets scarce, expensive or suddenly unavailable.
IntelyCare
IntelyCare is a Quincy, Massachusetts-based healthcare talent platform that connects nursing professionals with per diem, contract, and permanent shifts through an AI-powered mobile marketplace. Founded in 2016, it employs its nurses as W2 workers with benefits, malpractice coverage and same-day pay, while giving skilled nursing facilities, hospitals and health systems on-demand access to credentialed clinicians. After a $115M Series C that pushed its valuation past $1 billion, IntelyCare acquired acute-care staffing platform CareRev in January 2026 to build one of the industry's most comprehensive clinical workforce solutions.
Trusted Health
Trusted Health is a labor marketplace and workforce management platform for the healthcare industry, connecting nurses and allied health clinicians with hospitals through software that replaces the legacy travel-nursing agency model. Its consumer-facing platform helps nurses find travel and per-diem jobs; its enterprise Works platform helps health systems build internal float pools and on-demand workforces.
