Key Market Trends
Hospital is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share in the End User Segment
Hospitals usually have a huge workload and hence needs a large number of skilled healthcare providers. Owing to cost constraints and lack of properly skilled professionals, hospitals often use per diem nurses in order to cover staffing needs, as those needs may vary from week to week.
For instance, if an area has undergone a flu epidemic, a hospital might have a larger patient load than what it faces normally, but since the epidemic would usually drop down in a few weeks, appointing per diem nurses lets the hospital cover the epidemic without having to hire staff permanently for only a temporary need. In addition, having a group of good and skilled per diem nurses allows a hospital to cut their costs down by appointing such nurses only when they are needed.
