BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCRN), a technology-driven healthcare workforce solutions company, today announced an exclusive 36-month partnership to bring the Optim\u00e9 workforce strategy and planning solution into Intellify\u00ae, Cross Country\u2019s workforce intelligence platform.<\/p>

\nOptim\u00e9 adds advanced forecasting, analytics and workforce optimization capabilities to Intellify, helping health systems better align workforce supply with patient demand, improve resource utilization, reduce labor cost per unit of service and spend less time making manual staffing decisions.<\/p>

\nAt a time when labor remains one of healthcare\u2019s largest and most volatile costs, Optim\u00e9 strengthens Cross Country\u2019s strategy to combine workforce expertise, technology and intelligence into a more predictive and differentiated workforce offering for the healthcare market.<\/p>

\n\u201cHealth systems do not need more dashboards. They need better decisions, better visibility and better operational control,\u201d said Kevin Clark, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Country. \u201cOptim\u00e9 strengthens our ability to help clients manage labor more intelligently and more proactively, and it expands the value we are building through Intellify and across the enterprise.\u201d<\/p>

\n\u201cIntelligence only matters if it changes how decisions are made and improves outcomes,\u201d said Darrick Sogabe, Chief Product Officer of Cross Country. \u201cThat is the standard we are building with Intellify. Optim\u00e9 adds advanced forecasting and optimization capabilities that make our platform stronger, more actionable and more valuable for health systems trying to manage workforce complexity with greater precision and control.\u201d<\/p>

\nThe Optim\u00e9 solution is designed to integrate across major EHR, HR, payroll and time-and-attendance systems, including Epic, Kronos and Lawson. Its capabilities complement Cross Country\u2019s growing workforce intelligence strategy by adding a more advanced optimization layer to the company\u2019s technology-enabled approach.<\/p>

\n\u201cHealth systems are under constant pressure to align staffing with patient demand more accurately and more efficiently,\u201d said Shoaib Abbasi, Founder and Chairman of Strategic Systems International. \u201cThrough this partnership, the Optim\u00e9 solution can reach more organizations through a partner that understands the operational complexity of healthcare labor and shares our belief that better decisions start with better intelligence.\u201d<\/p>

\nThe exclusive agreement marks another step in Cross Country\u2019s evolution from workforce solutions provider to technology-enabled workforce partner. As the company continues to expand Intellify, the Optim\u00e9 solution strengthens its ability to help health systems move from fragmented workforce management to a more predictive, integrated and performance-driven labor strategy.<\/p>
