The Fundamentals
What Is a Vendor Management System and Managed Service Program?
A vendor management system (VMS) combined with a managed service program (MSP) consolidates every locum tenens vendor relationship under a single management layer. Instead of tracking contracts, invoices, credentialing timelines, and performance reports across a dozen or more separate staffing agencies, your team works through one platform and one point of contact. Fill requests go out to every qualifying agency at once, candidates come back through a single interface, and performance data is tracked across every vendor, specialty, and engagement, in real time.
For most health systems, implementing a VMS/MSP produces measurable cost reduction within the first year through improved vendor competition, elimination of redundant management overhead, and better spend visibility.
