Travelers or Talent: The Math of Healthcare Staffing
Why traveler spend keeps climbing, and how health systems build their own pipelines instead. Oswego Health got RN turnover under 8 percent.
What's inside
- What traveler reliance actually costs, from contract spend that grew into the millions to the damage done to care continuity, retention and culture, now spreading past nursing into allied health and imaging
- How Oswego Health drove RN turnover below 8 percent in 2025: outreach starting in eighth grade, mapped internal career pathways, tuition support and flexible schedules
- The three-legged stool behind a pipeline that holds: health systems, academic partners, and a strong intermediary such as a workforce board
- Funding most systems never touch: WIOA, DOL, Perkins, state waivers and foundations, which carry lighter paperwork, plus the market data and grant-writing help workforce boards provide
- Why culture rather than pay is the real retention lever. Exit interviews say money; the reason underneath is culture
- A look at Craft's free business-case tool, which modeled up to a 75 percent reduction in traveler spend over five years
Who it's for
Health system executives, CNOs, HR and workforce leaders carrying a traveler line item who want the math on building their own pipeline. Useful for allied health and imaging leaders, not just nursing.
