TRS Managed Services is a comprehensive Workforce Solution offering healthcare organizations access to a full-service MSP and proprietary Vendor Management Software (Centrafi) to assist in managing the candidate placement process, credentialing, invoicing, and reporting. TRS Managed Services was developed in 2015 by TRS Healthcare, a 25+ year old healthcare staffing organization, which was recently recognized as one of the top 25 largest travel nursing firm by Staffing Industry Analysts. TRS Managed Services is proud of its focus helping healthcare organizations become healthier. While the contingent labor element of the MSP is a core component of the offering, TRS Managed Services aims to align with the goals of healthcare organizations by assisting them with strategies to utilize as little contingent labor as necessary. Because of this, TRS Managed Services offers a full array of workforce solutions including consultative services around best practices in hiring, onboarding, and retention strategies, as well as flexible temp-to-perm terms and full direct-placement options including International direct placement. While TRS is well-experienced in delivering results for large hospitals and systems, the organization recently won the NATHO Impact Award for its work serving rural and underserved communities. TRS Managed Services helps hospitals large or small, urban, or rural take their talent management to the next level.

Caret Health has a next generation technology solution, including staffing, that provides a hyper-focused turnkey approach to identifying and engaging Rural Hospitals’ and Clinics’ highest risk patient populations remotely, to close more care gaps on behalf of our clients’ providers, leading to much improved performance with Quality and Cost Efficiencies. Typically, 50% or more of high-risk patients’ care gaps can be closed with Caret’s Remote Care Interventions Solution, which also significantly reduces physician and administrative burdens.
Caret Health is Bridging the Technology Gap for Rural Hospitals and Clinics
“I’ve had a passion for rural healthcare as a result of my work over the past two decades with Studer Group, Caravan Health and now Caret Health, and I’ve worked with hundreds of rural executive teams and their boards to provide solutions that make healthcare better for patients, physicians and employees in rural communities. Given existing technology limitations in rural healthcare I believe that together, with Caret Health’s technology platform, we can forge a more resilient and accessible rural healthcare landscape. Thank you for your continued dedication to improving healthcare in our communities.”
