Accountable Healthcare Staffing (“Accountable”), a leading workforce solutions and supplemental staffing company, announced today that it has entered into a strategic supply chain solutions agreement with Yankee Alliance, the premier member-driven healthcare group purchasing organization.   Effective immediately, the new agreement allows Yankee Alliance members to take advantage of exclusive group purchasing benefits and terms pre-negotiated by Yankee Alliance for Accountable’s innovative workforce solutions programs, while also offering members the opportunity to create a customized Managed Service Program (MSP) to meet their specific needs. Through its expertise in human capital management, national footprint, and vast supplier partner network, Accountable is uniquely positioned to provide a complete suite of clinical and non-clinical supplemental staffing solutions to Yankee Alliance’s diverse member group across the nation. “With costs and access to skilled staff always a challenge, healthcare leaders are looking for innovative approaches to control expenses, especially to reduce labor costs,” said Kevin Little, Chief Executive Officer at Accountable.  “We believe that our MSP solution creates these cost-savings benefits by addressing contingent labor pain-points through a flexible, customized solution while maintaining high quality and accountability.  We are thrilled to be able to share these programs with the Yankee Alliance member network.” “Yankee Alliance recognized the novel approach Accountable is taking to upend the existing workforce solutions model that has not always provided meaningful value-based services within the healthcare ecosystem,” said Brandon Chamberland, President of the Workforce Transformation and Consulting Division at Accountable.  “We are excited to cultivate meaningful relationships with Yankee Alliance members and ready to transform industry perceptions of Managed Services through this strategic partnership.” “When Accountable’s Workforce Transformation and Consulting Division presented their programs to Yankee Alliance, we wanted to be early-adopters in bringing these programs to our members, as they support our key focus areas for our members – innovative ideas for expense reduction, savings identification, and savings implementation,” said Cathy Spinney, President and Chief Executive Officer at Yankee Alliance. Yankee Alliance specializes in improving its members’ bottom lines through reducing costs, improving quality, and streamlining operations.  Yankee Alliance’s group purchasing program combines the Yankee Alliance portfolio of contracts with those negotiated by Premier, Inc., resulting in the best pricing tiers through aggregations for all Yankee Alliance members. Accountable is offering its customized and streamlined approach to contract labor management to over 15,000 Yankee Alliance members.
