Per-diem staffing

Shift-level coverage without a fixed assignment.

Bluecare connects facilities with credentialed professionals for individual open shifts, recurring gaps, call-outs, and changing census needs.

Best fit

Coverage for the gaps that change day to day.

Per-diem staffing is designed for as-needed coverage rather than a fixed assignment term. Share the role, location, shift, and notice available so Bluecare can assess the request.

Individual open shifts

Add coverage for a specific day, evening, overnight, or weekend shift when the need is limited to that schedule.

Recurring schedule gaps

Support repeated open shifts without turning the need into a fixed-duration assignment.

Call-outs and census changes

Respond to an unexpected absence or a temporary increase in patient-care demand with a clear, shift-specific request.

Shift coverage

Start with the shift details.

Day, evening, overnight, weekend, and variable schedules may be supported when they match the facility request and current clinician availability. These are coverage formats, not live inventory.

  • Role and care environment

    Tell us which professional is needed and where the shift will take place so the request can be considered for the setting.

  • Date, hours, and frequency

    Identify whether the need is one shift or a recurring schedule gap, along with the facility's supplied shift label and hours.

  • Notice and required credentials

    Fulfillment depends on role, location, notice, credentialing, and current clinician availability. More complete details support a clearer next step.

How it works

A direct path from request to confirmation.

  1. Share the need

    Provide the facility, role, shift details, required credentials, and urgency.

  2. Review and matching

    Bluecare reviews the request, considers credentialed professionals for the role and care environment, and communicates the next step.

  3. Confirm the placement

    The facility receives the relevant placement details and confirms whether the proposed coverage fits the request.

  4. Stay connected

    Bluecare provides responsive support and follow-through after confirmation.

When the need extends beyond individual shifts.

A finite coverage period or a defined assignment may call for a different staffing model.

Temporary staffing

Choose temporary staffing when coverage has a finite horizon but the duration or schedule may need flexibility.

Contract staffing

Choose contract staffing when the assignment has an agreed term, expected schedule or hours, and a clear start and end boundary.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can Bluecare help with one open shift?

Yes. Per-diem staffing is the Bluecare service for individual shifts as well as recurring as-needed gaps. Availability depends on the role, location, notice, credentialing, and current clinician availability.

Can a facility request recurring per-diem coverage?

Yes. Provide the recurring days, shift hours, role, and expected frequency. If the need becomes a finite or defined assignment, temporary or contract staffing may be a better fit.

What information should we provide?

Share the facility and location, role, shift date and hours, required credentials, number of professionals, and urgency. Bluecare will follow up with a clear next step.

Is per-diem staffing the same as temporary staffing?

No. Per-diem staffing covers as-needed shifts without a fixed assignment term. Temporary staffing supports a finite need whose duration or schedule may remain flexible.
