CareRev, a leading on-demand healthcare workforce platform, has expanded its capabilities to include allied and ancillary healthcare professionals. This strategic enhancement means hospitals and healthcare systems can now fill a wider range of clinical and support roles through a single, flexible workforce solution.
What’s new?
CareRev has traditionally focused on nursing professionals, but with this expansion, the platform now supports a broad spectrum of allied and ancillary healthcare roles, including:
- Physical, occupational, and respiratory therapists
- Radiologic and ultrasound technologists
- Medical laboratory professionals and phlebotomists
- Surgical technologists and environmental services staff
These roles are essential to patient care and operational continuity, representing more than half of the U.S. healthcare workforce. CareRev’s updated platform empowers facilities to tap into this often-overlooked labor pool with the same on-demand efficiency and control that has made the platform a go-to resource for nursing shifts.
Why this matters to hospitals and health systems
Broader staffing coverage
Allied and ancillary professionals play critical roles in diagnostics, therapy, infection prevention, patient mobility, and environmental hygiene. Staffing gaps in these departments can have cascading effects on care quality, efficiency, and safety. With CareRev’s expansion, facilities gain access to qualified, local professionals who are ready to fill shifts without relying on costly travel contracts or overtime.
Smarter labor cost management
On-demand access to allied and ancillary professionals allows health systems to reduce dependence on expensive agency contracts while meeting patient care demands. By prioritizing local, flexible talent, hospitals can significantly cut costs, especially in high-turnover departments like lab services, radiology, and respiratory care.
A more resilient and flexible workforce
Healthcare staffing needs are rarely static. Seasonal patient surges, unexpected staff absences, or new service lines can create urgent coverage gaps. Having a real-time staffing option for allied and ancillary roles helps maintain consistent patient care, even in times of volatility.
Increased satisfaction for allied health professionals
Like their nursing counterparts, allied and ancillary professionals are increasingly seeking flexible work opportunities. CareRev offers them the autonomy to choose when and where they work, helping improve job satisfaction, reduce burnout, and promote long-term workforce engagement. When staff feel empowered, quality of care improves across the board.
How your facility can take advantage of CareRev’s expansion
Hospitals and healthcare organizations looking to strengthen their workforce strategy can start leveraging CareRev’s allied and ancillary capabilities by:
- Identifying frequent coverage gaps in departments like imaging, therapy, or lab services
- Shifting away from last-minute travel contracts by building a flexible local pool of professionals
- Incorporating allied and ancillary shifts into internal staffing workflows for greater oversight and efficiency
- Analyzing fill rates and labor spend to continually refine your workforce model
This approach enables health systems to meet patient care needs without overburdening full-time staff or exceeding budget limits.
A strategic advantage for forward-thinking organizations
CareRev’s platform expansion comes at a time when health systems must do more with less—streamlining operations while maintaining exceptional care. By supporting both nursing and allied/ancillary professionals, CareRev becomes a comprehensive solution for dynamic staffing needs.
Hospitals gain:
- Access to a broader, vetted workforce
- Streamlined shift management across multiple departments
- Better control over labor costs and overtime
- Improved flexibility during census fluctuations or crises
In short, CareRev now offers a one-stop workforce solution that supports the full spectrum of clinical and support roles essential to high-functioning healthcare delivery.
Final thoughts
As allied and ancillary professionals take on increasingly critical responsibilities in modern care delivery, it’s essential for hospitals to include them in workforce planning. CareRev’s expanded platform equips healthcare organizations to staff smarter, faster, and more efficiently—without compromising care quality or budget goals.
Now is the time to rethink your approach to staffing and explore how CareRev’s expanded capabilities can help future-proof your operations.
