Healthcare onboarding | The 3 biggest healthcare onboarding time drains and how to solve them!

As the country moves on from COVID-19, the NHS and healthcare industry as a whole is still feeling the impacts, especially on resource management.

Since the early 90s, medical resourcing has been increasingly strained. The closure of medical schools was one of the primary drivers, requiring healthcare organisations to explore international recruitment.

With the increased recruitment and resource management complexity, the strain on onboarding, specifically credentialing, has also increased. The CQC has helped drive credentialing standards to ensure that clinicians, regardless of where they were educated and worked, meet the same high standards.

A refined and effective onboarding system can positively impact a healthcare organisation, not just at the point of onboarding but for months or years.

However, thanks to the compliance complexity required, combined with the nature of the roles being recruited for, onboarding is often a frustrating experience for both candidates and organisations. There are several hoops that both sides are expected to jump through.
