Traveling healthcare staffing company Medical Solutions, Inc. (http://www.inc.com/inc5000/2007/company-profile.htmlid=200706250) and No. 10 out of all the healthcare staffing firms making the list.
The Inc. 5,000 is an extension of Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 500 list and encompasses many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500.
Medical Solutions specializes in placing nurses and allied health professionals in temporary travel nursing jobs nationwide. Beginning in 1997, Medical Solutions has become one of the
fastest growing companies in the travel nursing industry (http://www.medicalsolutions.com/about/jcaho.shtml), Medical Solutions also developed several innovative strategies that fueled their growth. Flexible pay and billing structures
allow nurses and allied health professionals to personalize their compensation packages. Medical Solutions also broke the industry standard by providing travelers with a dedicated
Recruiter for their entire Medical Solutions career. Conversely, they also became one of the first companies to provide their client hospitals with a dedicated Client Manager. These
innovations, coupled with a clear and early commitment to providing excellent customer service, have led to Medical Solutions' success.
Another factor contributing to Medical Solutions' success is an ever-growing healthcare personnel shortage. Between the nursing shortage, which is expected to reach 1.2 million by 2010,
and the allied health shortage, expected to reach somewhere between 1.6 million to 2.5 million by 2020, the United States is facing a serious healthcare crisis. As a travel nursing
company Medical Solutions has an important role to play in combating this shortage.
Medical Solutions has seen explosive growth in the last three years. Sound strategies and the increasing nursing shortage have driven their business. During that time, they have
experienced a 519% increase in sales from 2003 to 2006 and are projecting sales growth over 600% from 2004 to 2007. The Inc. 5,000 reported median revenue of $9.4 million and median
three-year growth of 140%. At a three-year growth rate of 519% and revenue of $19.3 million in 2006, Medical Solutions is well above the median for both measures.
"We are excited and honored to be included on Inc. magazine's list of the fastest growing companies in the country. Our success is a direct result of the people we hire, strong management
and sound strategic business practices," said Medical Solutions president and co-owner Scott Anderson.
Medical Solutions has a clear goal of becoming one of the largest traveling healthcare staffing firms in the country. Towards this end, Medical Solutions has made significant investments
in technology and internal staff and has begun staffing allied health and international travelers.
