This year, medical facilities across the United States depended heavily on temporary healthcare staffing firms to help fill open allied health positions. In fact, according to a recent analysis by the Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), total temporary staffing revenue of these crucial clinicians increased 6.4% from the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2023. While the SIA does forecast a slight contraction of the allied health market this year—by only about 3%—we have seen continued interest from clients in our quality staffing services. This includes some of the most popular allied health specialties identified by SIA by temporary staffing revenue in the first half of the year—read on to learn more about that list and how we can partner with you to staff your facility in the new year.
Respiratory Therapists
Topping SIA’s list of occupations by market share of allied health temporary staffing revenue for the first half of 2023 is respiratory therapists, coming in at 16.8%. Respiratory therapists treat a wide range of patients who have trouble breathing, both old and young, and are often responsible for administering oxygen and managing ventilators. At Barton Healthcare Staffing, we are constantly building out our network of travel respiratory therapists and placing them on assignment at facilities across the country.
Radiological/MRI/CT Technologists
Right behind respiratory therapists on SIA’s list of top allied health specialties by temporary staffing revenue in the first half of 2023 is radiological/MRI/CT technologists, totaling 16.1% of all revenue. These medical professionals are responsible for administering radiation therapy, or conducting MRIs or CT scans to identify disease. Similar to respiratory therapists, BHS has built connections with a robust network of allied health professionals like these and often work with facilities for their temporary imaging technologist needs.
