Breakout Session

Health Care Section Session: MSPs in Health Care Staffing—Partner or Competitor?

As managed service providers (MSPs) continue to shape the health care staffing landscape, many firms face a critical decision—partner with MSPs, compete against them, or seek alternative models for growth. This panel brings together MSP providers and staffing firms to discuss the realities of working with MSPs, from the benefits of access to large-scale contracts and streamlined processes to the challenges of price compression, high insurance costs, and supplier limitations.

Panelists will share insights on how small and midsized firms can remain competitive, whether by embracing MSP partnerships or building a more self-sustaining business model. Attendees will gain strategies for navigating the MSP ecosystem, mitigating risks, and determining the best path forward for their organization. Whether you’re currently working with an MSP or evaluating your options, this discussion will provide valuable perspectives on the future of health care staffing.
