Healthcare Staffing: Revolutionizing Acute Care with Expert Insights
Navigating the Complex Acute Care Market
A tech-driven healthcare staffing firm, initially successful in the long-term care market, sought to expand its footprint into the acute care hospital sector. This strategic pivot required investment thesis research including: a deep understanding of the managed service provider (MSP) landscape, identification of key decision-makers for staffing solutions, and insights into the unique challenges faced by hospital executives. Their immediate goal was to gather critical intelligence to inform their go-to-market (GTM) strategy within three months.
