USr Healthcare

USr Healthcare Overview


USr Healthcare was founded and led by DVB Executive Solutions’ CEO Mark Dixon from 2000 to 2016 and became a national leader of talent acquisition solutions through its consulting services and/or implementation of outsourced models for hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The company differentiated its service from other talent acquisition companies with an unparalleled track record, its databases, processes and people. With extensive experience and a proprietary model, USr brought cost-effective resources to hospitals through customized programs that reflected each hospital or healthcare facility’s specific needs.


In 2000, USr Healthcare began operations in Brentwood, Tennessee, and in 2002 began a unique pilot program to support HCA (Hospital Corporation of America) in the healthcare recruiting space. The original pilot was launched at a 200-bed facility in Nashville, Tennessee, and was designed to directly address two major issues facing HCA hospitals; increased reliance on contract labor, and escalating vacancy rates in the RN and licensed Allied Health areas. USr successfully eliminated all travelers and contract labor in seven months, saving HCA a documented $1.3 million in year one. 


Following the pilot program, USr Healthcare became a leading national provider of customized staffing solutions for hospitals, hospital groups and other healthcare facilities using similar customized initiatives. And from 2002 – 2016, USr Healthcare led more than 265 clients through RPO engagements at HCA, CHS, HMA, CHRISTUS, Holy Cross and others in the for-profit and not-for-profit healthcare sectors. 


In 2016, Mark Dixon sold USr Healthcare to Cross Country Healthcare and led the consolidation transition of the two companies through July 2018.


Key Data:

The partnerships established by USr ultimately resulting in:
 

  • 92,000+ direct placement hires
  • 4,900+ management and executive placements
  • The reduction or elimination of unbudgeted contract staff in core clinical positions, resulting in over $500m in recaptured unbudgeted labor expense 
  • Significant improvement in clinical vacancy rates for the company’s Client partners
