The Real Cost of a Staffing Gap

Every unfilled shift compounds the problem

Ward managers spend an average of 2.5 hours per gap working the phone. That time multiplies every week across every ward.

2.5h
Per gap on phone outreach
Ward coordinators call agency contacts sequentially, leaving voicemails and waiting for callbacks. Most gaps take 3 to 5 calls before a candidate confirms.
18-25%
Agency placement fee on nurse rates
Swiss staffing agencies charge a 18 to 25 percent premium above the nurse's hourly rate. For a 12-hour ICU shift, that markup adds CHF 80 to 140 per shift directly to your cost.
3x
Higher cancellation on overnight shifts
Night and weekend shifts see dramatically higher last-minute cancellations than day shifts. Agencies rarely guarantee coverage at unsocial hours without premium surcharges.
0
Credential visibility from agencies
Most agencies send a name and a phone number. Specialty certifications, language requirements, and ward-type experience are rarely verified before placement.
The Carewell Difference

Matching that actually shows you credentials

Verified nurse profiles

Every nurse on Carewell has SRK/ASI registration confirmed, specialty certifications checked, and language requirements validated before their first shift. You see the credential summary before you confirm.

Real-time availability matching

The matching engine only surfaces nurses who have actively confirmed their availability for your shift window. No "I'll check and call you back." No calendar conflicts discovered at 6am.

Transparent pricing, no markup

Clinics pay a platform commission on filled shifts, not a markup on nurse rates. The nurse earns the full posted rate. You know exactly what each shift costs before it is filled.

Under two minutes to post a shift

Ward type, shift window, specialty requirements, and a brief notes field. The posting form takes less time than a single agency phone call, and the platform does the outreach for you.

How It Works for Clinics

Three steps from gap to covered

01

Post the open shift

Open your clinic dashboard, select the ward, set the shift window and specialty requirements. Add any specific notes for the nurse. The whole process takes under two minutes.

02

Review matched candidates

Carewell reads nurse profiles against your requirements and surfaces the best-fit candidates. You see credentials, experience, and ward compatibility before you decide. Most wards receive 2 to 4 viable candidates within minutes.

03

Confirm and the ward is covered

Select a candidate, the nurse is notified and confirms in one tap. You receive their credential summary and contact details immediately. The ward gap is documented and the shift is tracked through the platform.

What Ward Managers Say

Clinics already using Carewell

"We used to spend a full morning calling contacts when someone called in sick. Now the shift is covered before the morning handover ends. The time savings alone justifies the fee."

Shift Coordinator, Westquai Klinik - Pilot program participant

"The credential summary is what sold us. I know before I confirm whether the nurse has ICU experience and the right certifications. That is something our agency has never given us upfront."

Dr. Claudia Bernet
Medical Director, Bergview Medical Centre - Pilot program participant

"Overnight and weekend gaps used to be our nightmare scenario. We have filled three night shifts through Carewell in the last month. The matching speed is genuinely different."
