Pioneers of MSP Model for Military Healthcare
Staffing Continue to Ensure Medically Ready Force
DENVER, May 22, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Matrix Providers, a prominent medical staffing
provider for the United States
government, is positioned to recruit thousands of healthcare
workers for the Military Health System as part of its recent
selection as one of 11 awardees for MQS2-NG, the largest government
healthcare staffing contract to date. As part of the $43 billion contract with the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD), Matrix Providers will recruit professional and
administrative healthcare workers for positions at 591 Defense
Health Agency (DHA) hospitals and clinics nationwide over the next
15 years.
Earlier this month, the DHA selected 11 vendors in an
unrestricted pool as part of the MQS2-NG medical staffing contract,
marking a new effort by the U.S. government to consolidate regional
contracts. This progressive and proactive strategy will help
streamline the DHA and provide better access to healthcare services
at its medical facilities, including physician, nursing, ancillary,
dental and administrative services.
"The government has placed a great deal of trust in Matrix based
on our proven track record of providing high quality healthcare
professionals," said Dr. Bill
Rivard, founder and CEO of Matrix Providers. "We take that
responsibility seriously and are working diligently to support our
nation's military, veterans, retirees and their families."
One of 36 small businesses to be selected for the predecessor
MQS1 contract in 2017, Matrix Providers has since been
awarded more in contract value than any other firm. Matrix
Providers was the first to bring the Managed Service Provider
(MSP) model to the government sector. The staffing industry
practice empowers health systems to quickly meet labor demands and
prepare for anticipated healthcare worker shortages.
According to a report by the Association of American
Medical Colleges (AAMC), the United
States is expected to face a shortage of up to 86,000
physicians by 2036. Additionally, multiple industry and academic
forecasts place the growing shortage of nurses in the hundreds of
thousands over the next five years.
"Helping to ensure a medically ready force has been our mission
and we are proud to play a pivotal role in accelerating military
healthcare staffing by bridging the divide between the government
and civilian healthcare sectors," added Dr. Rivard.
Scaling efforts are underway at Matrix Providers to meet the
challenge and ensure the company is positioned to not only place
medical professionals faster and more efficiently, but to also
provide reliable, stable employment for healthcare workers. A
growing list of open healthcare positions to be filled by Matrix
Providers can be found at https://matrixproviders.com/job-openings.
