As we move into the second half of the year, July offers more than just warm weather and holiday weekends. It is also a strategic opportunity for healthcare organizations to pause, reflect, and reassess their staffing needs. In an industry where burnout is high, patient demands fluctuate, and compliance requirements evolve, taking stock at mid-year can be the difference between staying ahead or falling behind.
At Allied Health, we believe a proactive approach to workforce planning is essential. Here’s why now is the right time to check in on your staffing strategy and how we can help.
Burnout is real, and it’s accumulating
By July, many healthcare professionals are six months into a high-pressure environment. PTO requests peak during the summer, and staffing gaps become more noticeable. If your team is stretched thin, patient care and team morale may suffer. A mid-year review allows you to spot signs of burnout early and supplement your core team with per diem or temporary staff before it impacts care delivery.
The second half of the year brings new challenges
Flu season, school reopenings, and end-of-year surges are just around the corner. Facilities that wait until the last minute often struggle to find qualified professionals during peak demand periods. Now is the time to assess upcoming staffing needs and create a plan. Whether you are anticipating seasonal surges or launching new programs, having a pipeline of ready-to-deploy talent will set you up for success.
Compliance audits and credentialing are easier mid-year
Regulatory requirements do not take a vacation. Doing a mid-year audit of your current staff credentials and compliance documentation gives you time to correct any gaps before year-end reviews. At Allied Health, we maintain accurate records for all our professionals, from licensure to background checks, so you can stay compliant with ease.
