When a southwestern health system's electronic medical records (EMR) upgrade failed and was taken offline for almost a week, it put 10 facilities at risk. Nurse managers faced a data backlog and the urgent need for experienced nurses to maintain quality patient care. Knowing they needed a partner who could deliver in two days, the system administrator called Fastaff.

Fastaff acted swiftly, activating their unique Rapid Response® staffing model on a Thursday afternoon, just days before the nurses were needed for a 6 a.m. start on Saturday. By noon the next day, less than 24 hours later, nurses started arriving at four facilities in two states. By 7:15am on Saturday, orientation was complete at all 10 facilities and nurses began caring for patients.
