Nomination Title: SnapNurse

SnapNurse is a disruptive tech-enabled healthcare staffing platform that has transformed the way nurses are recruited, deployed and paid. Cherie Kloss, ananesthetist, founded SnapNurse in 2017 because of her own experience trying to secure jobs at different hospitals. SnapNurse has quicklybecome the leading digital healthcare staffing platform in the United States not just in nursing, but all healthcare providers.Named Atlanta’s fast-growing company by theAtlanta Business Chroniclein 2021, the award-winning platform for short- and long-term nurse staffing is already the industry’s emerging tech-enabled staffing platform with more than 160,000 registered nurses serving more than 1,000 facilities, with an average fill time of less than 48 hours;a disruptive departure from the 14-day average from traditional staffing agencies.SnapNurse’s explosive growth is unlike any other, fromQ1 2020 to Q1 2021 the company held a growth rate of40,000%, one of the fastest growth rates of any company in any industry in recorded history.

At SnapNurse, our mission is to deploy nurses wherever they are needed most. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for nurses was extraordinary in almost every state nationwide, but the SnapNurse staffing platform scaled to meet this unprecedented demand. SnapNurse quickly moved to automate the sourcing and initial onboarding of nurses and added a proprietary instant payment platform, allowing nurses to be paid daily during any assignment. These innovations allowed SnapNurse to rapidly deliver nurses to hospitals within 24-48 hours and help save thousands of lives.

Due to SnapNurse’s innovation, the company experienced explosive growth. From Q1 2020 to Q1 2021, sales grew 40,000%. SnapNurse’s nurse count swelled from 10,000 on the platform a year ago to just over 160,000 today. Similarly, the company has grown from 80 clients to 1,000 in the last year.As nursing and healthcare shortages intensify, recruiting and staffing will remain a challenge for hospitals and health systems around the country in a post-COVID environment.

True to its mission, SnapNurse recently launchedSnapClinics, on-demand, pop-up vaccination clinics for healthcare deserts and underserved areas across the nation. SnapClinics are designed to help public and private organizations with immunizations and other needs, with an immediate focus on providing COVID-19 vaccinations. Mobilization of SnapClinics is increasingly important as the Delta variant becomes the dominant COVID strain throughout the country. To date, SnapClinics in in five states have vaccinated more than one million people across all vaccination sites.

Where our competitors and hospitals have made do with 10–14-day lead times for nurse staffing, SnapNurse introduced a significantly faster model for care to the marketplace. SnapNurse is the only company that can offer nurses to hospitals within 24-48 hours. The quick turn-around is a significant departure from the business norms of the pre-pandemic era, and a number that serves as a promise to our clients that SnapNurse is the partner of choice for solving 21stcentury hospital needs.

During the pandemic, this stark difference in lead times gave SnapNurse a tremendous advantage over traditional staffing models and pushed our industry forward in the provision of care when and where it was needed most.The difference is in the tech. With SnapNurse, our partner organizations can self-select nurses for both urgent crisis and long-term staffing needs through the same simple, intuitive tools they use to pay, approve timecards, credential, and more. And nurses love our tools because of the reliable same-day payments they receive at the end of their shift.

SnapNurse can attract nurses rapidly through the platform’s proprietary sourcing algorithm. With the added feature of same-day payment, our brand went viral: SnapNurse became the best place for nurses to seek out work and for hospitals to find support. Due to its disruptive staffing model, SnapNurse stands out as the largest and fastest growing healthcare staffing platform in the gig economy and has distinguished itself as other technology companies, such as DoorDash and Uber, have in their respective industries.
