What is Cross Country Healthcare, Inc.?
We are one of the largest providers of healthcare staffing services in the United States. Our healthcare staffing business segment which represents approximately 92% of our revenue is comprised of travel nurse and allied health staffing, per diem nurse staffing and clinical research trials staffing. Approximately 80% of our total revenue is derived from travel nurse staffing services.
Our other human capital management services business segment which represents approximately 8% of our revenues consists of education and training of healthcare professionals, healthcare consulting, and physician and executive search services.
Our active client base includes more than 3,000 hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and other healthcare providers across all 50 states. Our fees are paid directly by our clients rather than by government or other third-party payors. As a result, we have no direct exposure to Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements. We are well positioned to take advantage of current industry dynamics, including the growing shortage of nurses in the United States, the growing demand for healthcare services due to an aging population and the secular trend among healthcare providers toward outsourcing staffing services.
What are your recruiting and employee retention statistics?
We are a leader in the recruitment and the retention of highly qualified healthcare professionals. We recruit healthcare professionals from all 50 states and Canada as well as internationally from English-speaking foreign countries, including the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. In 2002, approximately 15,700 completed field staff applications were added to our database. More than half of our field employees have been referred by current or former employees, with the remainder attracted by advertisements in trade publications and our internet website. Our Internet site allows potential applicants to review our business profile, apply on-line, view our company provided housing and participate in on-line forums. We offer appealing assignments, attractive compensation packages, housing and other benefits, as well as substantial training opportunities through Cross Country University. In 2002, approximately 70% of our nurses accepted a new assignment with us within 35 days of completing a previous assignment with us.
Who are Cross Country's clients?
Our active client base includes over 3,000 hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and other healthcare providers across all 50 states. We do not rely on any geographical region or client for a significant portion of our revenue. No single client accounts for more than 3% of our revenue in 2002. In 2002, we worked with over 70% of the nation's top hospitals, as identified by U.S. News and World Report.
