Dallas-based AMN Healthcare announced it has created a new executive advisory board as part of its steps to further strengthen its market-leading approach to total talent solutions in healthcare. The board will be led by Mike Butler, the former president of Providence.
The board will be composed of accomplished leaders from various healthcare organizations, who will serve as trusted advisers, leveraging their extensive industry expertise to unlock new market opportunities, the company said.
“The formation of our executive advisory board represents another step in our commitment to helping healthcare organizations with innovative workforce solutions that improve patient care and access to quality healthcare,” Cary Grace, president and CEO of AMN Healthcare, said in a statement. “Mike’s expertise and insights will be invaluable as we navigate the evolving healthcare landscape.”
The board’s work will center on ways to help healthcare organizations optimize their workforce planning and management, AMN said. By deploying predictive analytics and workforce expertise, for example, healthcare organizations can determine the right mix of core, contingent, and flexible staff to help manage costs and deliver excellent care to patients.
‘Ensuring sustainable clinical workforces’
AMN said that Butler brings more than two decades of strategic and operational experience in healthcare to the board.
At Providence, he led the organization to unprecedented growth, expanding from a $2 billion organization to $25 billion. Butler’s leadership in clinical services, technology solutions, consumer experience, and talent development has been instrumental in shaping the healthcare landscape, AMN said.
Butler is focused on the future of healthcare and is working with Morningside Ventures and Welsh Carson Anderson Stowe, and he is providing board service to Leiters Health, Enablecomp, League, Prescryptive, Cognoa and Linus Health.
“I’m honored to join AMN Healthcare in shaping the future of workforce management in healthcare,” Butler said in a statement. “The healthcare system faces structural labor challenges to meet the nation’s needs, and the Executive Advisory Board aims to empower AMN Healthcare to optimize total talent planning and management, ensuring sustainable clinical workforces.”
AMN said the healthcare industry is facing labor shortages, a need for greater visibility and control in a dynamic labor market, and the necessity for strong partnerships between healthcare organizations and their talent solutions providers.
The company said that it is committed to addressing these challenges through technology-enabled solutions and expert guidance from its newly formed executive advisory board.
