When a hospital or healthcare organization needs integration help — fast — building a full in-house team isn’t always the most efficient (or affordable) option. That’s where IT staffing comes in.
But what exactly does IT staffing mean in the context of healthcare? And how can you make sure you’re getting the right people for your project?
Let’s break it down.
What Is IT Staffing?
IT staffing is when an external company provides skilled technical professionals to work with your team — temporarily or long-term.
In healthcare, this often means:
- HL7 developers
- Integration engineers
- Interface analysts
- Data migration experts
- Clinical systems consultants
These professionals can help manage projects, build or maintain interfaces, assist with EHR upgrades, or fill internal resource gaps.
Why Use IT Staffing in Healthcare?
Healthcare organizations often face tight deadlines, strict compliance rules, and legacy systems that don’t “just work” with modern software. You might need extra help, but:
- Hiring full-time staff is time-consuming
- Projects have clear start and end dates
- Specialized skills (like HL7) are hard to find
Staffing lets you get the right people, right now — without the overhead of permanent hiring.
Contract vs. Placement: What’s the Difference?
At Healthcare Integrations, we offer two models:
- Contract Staffing
Need someone for a specific project or timeline? We place vetted experts into your workflow — and we remain involved to support success. - Placement Services
Looking to hire full-time? We help you find and recruit top-tier HL7 and interoperability professionals, ready to join your team.
Both models are built around transparency, flexibility, and our deep understanding of the healthcare IT space.
What Makes Healthcare IT Staffing Unique?
Healthcare isn’t like other industries. Integration touches sensitive data, regulated systems, and clinical workflows. You need experts who:
- Understand HIPAA and security best practices
- Can communicate with both technical and clinical teams
- Know the tools — Mirth, Bridgelink, Epic, Cerner, Meditech, and more
That’s where we come in.
Need a specialist? Let’s talk.
Whether you’re upgrading systems, short on HL7 expertise, or starting a new project — Healthcare Integrations can match you with the right professionals.
