I don't believe the healthcare workforce shortage is temporary.

I think it's the new reality.

Experienced coders, CDI specialists, auditors, and revenue cycle leaders have become one of healthcare's most valuable assets.

And while technology will continue to evolve, expertise still matters.

That's why I think the conversation is shifting from:

"How do we hire?"

to

"How do we build flexibility?"

More coding pools.
More interim leaders.
More project-based support.
More partnerships.

The organizations that embrace flexibility will be the ones that stay ahead.

At samstaff, we're seeing health systems become much more intentional about creating workforce strategies that can scale up—or down—as needs change.

What changes are you seeing within your own teams?

Some weeks require grit. Others require glitter. Most require both.✨ Here's to turning "I have to" into "I get to" this week.

Being scared doesn't mean you're incapable - it means you're stepping into something new. Growth lives outside of what's familiar. Trust yourself, take the next step, and remember: Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's moving forward anyway.✨
