Decoding the Drivers of Demand in Healthcare Staffing

Numbers of insured are rising, a multitude of demographic demand drivers are in effect, and the supply of physicians and
nurses remains relatively tight. These conditions would seem to form a strong foundation for growth in the healthcare
staffing industry.
According to our estimates, however, the market grew just 3% in 2013, a marked deceleration from 8% in 2012 and 11% in
2011, and companies are reporting that business remains challenging so far this year.
This panel, featuring Dr. Ian Morrison and several other thought leaders, will demystify the ways in which broader trends
within the healthcare sector impact your order volumes. Their predictions on the further evolution of the U.S. healthcare
system will provide clues on how to best position your firm for success.

Selling Where the Boom Is: How to Win in the Small Healthcare Provider Market
4:005:00 pm | Dallas Ballroom D2
Most healthcare staffing firms derive a disproportionate share of their revenue from hospitals and other large providers,
and with good reason. If youre going through the trouble of making a sales effort the phone calls, the presentations, all
the work of communicating and negotiating then you might as well go after the big bucks.
But growth in the large healthcare provider market isnt what it used to be. After a strong post-recession expansion,
hospital hiring in 2014 is at a near stall according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Whats really growing right now in
healthcare are the smaller providers: offices of physicians, substance abuse care, urgent care centers, outpatient centers,
etc. And theyre growing in a big way, typically at rates half again or double those of U.S. employment generally.
So how do you go after that small provider market effectively? Traditional sales efforts are too expensive to approach a
market so disaggregated. In this session well discuss your options, marketing tactics and sales techniques that will give
you an edge in this booming area of the healthcare economy.

Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter
8:309:45 am | Dallas Ballroom BC | Sponsored by People 2.0
Weve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drains intelligence, energy, and
capability from the people around them and always needs to be the smartest person in the room. These are the idea
killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders
who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them. When these leaders walk
into a room, light bulbs go off over peoples heads; ideas flow and problems get solved. These are the leaders who inspire
employees to stretch themselves and get more from other people. These are the Multipliers. And the world needs more of
them, especially now, when leaders are expected to do more with less.
In this highly engaging talk, Liz Wiseman will share the research behind Multipliers and illustrate the resoundingly
positive and profitable effect these Multipliers have on organizationshow they get more done with fewer resources,
develop and attract talent, and cultivate new ideas and energy to drive organizational change and innovation. Shell
introduce the five disciplines that distinguish Multipliers from Diminishers and provide practice tips for leading like a
Multiplier.
