DirectShifts is an online platform that connects clinicians (physicians and advanced practitioners) directly to employers for clinical work. Hospitals currently hire these clinicians through external recruiters who add cost and complexity to both sides of the hiring process. The DirectShifts online platform removes wasteful third parties and offers a convenient, transparent and more economical path to both clinicians and care delivery organizations. All of the paperwork is handled by DirectShifts, so there is no need for the care delivery organization to manage licensing, hospital privileges, or insurance.
