Innovating Healthcare Recruiting: Explore 5 Essential Advantages of Choosing EVA-MED

Recruiting in the healthcare industry across the MENA region is undergoing significant changes as countries aim to improve the quality of life for their citizens. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), the MENA region will need an additional 5.6 million healthcare professionals by 2030 to meet the growing demand for healthcare services. This shortage includes a projected need for 1.4 million doctors and 4.2 million nurses. The healthcare industry is a key area of focus for many countries in the region as they work towards diversifying their economies and implementing social reforms.

However, outdated applicant tracking systems (ATSs) lack the enterprise features necessary for medical groups to meet the healthcare sector’s evolving healthcare recruiting demands. These legacy systems are often rigid and inflexible, making it challenging for healthcare organizations to customize their healthcare recruiting to meet their unique needs.

To overcome these challenges, healthcare organizations are turning to innovative solutions like EVA-MED, a pioneering, enterprise-ready ATS designed exclusively for the healthcare sector. EVA-MED offers tailored features to help medical groups bridge the gap and shortage of qualified healthcare professionals, lack of diversity in the healthcare workforce, and difficulty in attracting new healthcare talent, among others.

In this blog post, we will explore the five key benefits of leveraging EVA-MED for healthcare recruiting.

Tailored Recruitment Processes For Healthcare Professionals in Various Fields

With EVA-MED, medical groups can streamline their healthcare recruiting by creating customized hiring pipelines for each medical branch or group. These workflows can also be tailored for healthcare professionals like physicians, nurses, dentists, surgeons, or healthcare admins. This helps ensure that the healthcare recruiting process is tailored to the specific needs of each healthcare organization. Not only that but even the stages and stage actions can be customized based on the position.

For example, physicians typically require more education and specialized training than nurses. Therefore, the hiring process for physicians may involve verifying their medical degree, residency, and board certification, while the hiring process for nurses may focus more on their nursing degree and licensing.

Furthermore, EVA-MED streamlines visa and work permit processes for overseas healthcare experts, simplifying the healthcare recruiting process for medical organizations that require international recruitment. This means that this stage can be added to the process of hiring overseas candidates. This helps in the efficient hiring of qualified healthcare professionals and aids in meeting the growing demand for healthcare professionals in the sector.

Enhanced Screening That Adds Layers of Protection for Medical Groups

Conducting thorough background checks is essential for healthcare organizations to maintain patient safety. EVA-MED provides a streamlined approach to background checks that verify the validity of medical certificates and work permits. By doing so, medical groups can eliminate the risk of hiring unqualified healthcare professionals and ensure that patients receive the highest quality care. This is especially important because healthcare professionals have access to sensitive patient information, medications, and medical procedures that could have severe consequences if misused.

In addition to ensuring patient safety, conducting background checks helps medical groups comply with regulations and protect themselves from liability. EVA-MED’s comprehensive approach to candidate screening allows recruiters to assess candidates based on key performance indicators, enabling them to identify top-tier talent and make more informed hiring decisions. This can help to protect medical groups from legal action if a healthcare provider causes harm to a patient.

Moreover, conducting thorough background checks is essential for maintaining a good reputation in the community. Patients expect their healthcare providers to be trustworthy and reliable, and hiring unqualified healthcare professionals can damage the organization’s reputation. By conducting comprehensive background checks, medical groups can demonstrate their commitment to patient safety and quality care.

Addressing Healthcare Workforce Shortages

The shortage of healthcare professionals is posing significant challenges for the healthcare sector in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. A report by the World Health Organization (WHO) states that the MENA region has one of the lowest densities of healthcare workers in the world, with an average of 2.4 doctors and 4.4 nurses per 1000 population, compared to the WHO-recommended ratios of 10 and 28, respectively. In particular, the nurse-to-population ratio is low, with some countries having less than 1 nurse per 1000 population. In fact, in the KSA, a changing demographic will see the need for 30,000 more doctors and 82,000 more nurses by 2030.

To address this shortage of healthcare professionals, medical groups can leverage EVA-MED, an enterprise-ready and tailored ATS that offers customizable hiring workflows for premier healthcare experts, cutting-edge medical recruitment analytics, and centralized recruitment for medical branches. By using EVA-MED, medical groups can address the nursing shortage of 180,000 and can play a crucial role in meeting the needs of the healthcare sector.

Improving Patient Care Quality Exponentially

EVA-MED, as the first ATS for healthcare in MENA, has the potential to significantly enhance the quality of patient care by providing a platform that meticulously screens, assesses, and evaluates only the most qualified healthcare professionals through top-tier AI filtration tools. This approach mitigates all forms of bias and ensures that recruitment decisions are solely based on the candidate’s merits.

It also guarantees that the healthcare experts are selected based on their skills, experience, and competency, rather than any personal connections, ethnicity, or gender. Therefore creating a bigger impact on the healthcare recruiting process.

Furthermore, EVA-MED helps recruiters identify the most qualified healthcare candidates for job openings by ranking them in order of qualification. This approach promotes better patient care quality as it ensures that only the most experienced and skilled healthcare professionals are selected for medical positions.

In addition, EVA-MED involves healthcare recruiters in the healthcare recruiting process, giving them an opportunity to share their expertise, collaborate and make the most optimal hiring decision. This approach fosters a collaborative effort in the recruitment process, ensuring that only the most qualified healthcare professionals are selected, leading to improved patient outcomes.

Furthermore, EVA-MED’s commitment to selecting only the most qualified healthcare experts translates into an improved employer brand that enhances its ability to attract more patients and healthcare professionals to its platform. This leads to increased revenue and growth for medical groups across the world.

Seamlessly Recruit Healthcare Professionals Internationally

EVA-MED provides medical groups with a comprehensive solution for their manpower planning and healthcare recruiting needs. One of the key features of the platform is its ability to streamline the recruitment of overseas and international healthcare candidates. With EVA-MED, medical groups can enter their manpower planning into the system and use the employee self-service module to request requisitions for overseas healthcare roles. Managers can specify the number of positions they are looking to fill and healthcare recruiters will be automatically notified once the requisition is approved.

EVA-MED also simplifies the approval cycles for job requisitions and provides streamlined visa and work permit processes for overseas experts. This enables medical groups to expand their recruitment pool beyond the local market and find the best talent from around the world. With the projected shortage of healthcare professionals in Saudi Arabia, this is especially important for medical groups looking to ensure they have the resources they need to improve their healthcare services and keep up with the evolving needs of the healthcare industry.
