Overcoming Staffing Challenges in Healthcare Projects:
How Advize Tackles Common Issues

Last week, we kicked off our three-part series with a deep dive into the spooky staffing trends haunting the healthcare industry in 2024. This week, we’re shifting focus to how Advize Health overcomes common staffing challenges in healthcare projects. Let’s explore some of the key solutions we’ve developed to keep our projects running smoothly.


Healthcare projects often face staffing challenges that can slow down progress and affect outcomes. At Advize Health, we’ve identified key obstacles in our work with clients and have developed actionable solutions to keep things running smoothly. How does your organization handle these common issues?

1. Work Schedule Inconsistencies
Has your team ever struggled to meet deadlines because staff members aren’t available when they’re supposed to be? This is a common problem, especially in short-term projects where flexibility is often expected.

Advize’s Solution: At Advize, we require our team members to report their schedules upfront, ensuring we have the right coverage. By holding team members accountable to their commitments, we reduce delays and keep projects on track.

Ask Yourself: Do you have a process in place to ensure your team adheres to their schedules? How could more transparency improve your project timelines?

2. Low Engagement and Communication
Communication breakdowns can quickly derail a project. Have you ever found yourself waiting on responses or action from team members?

Advize’s Solution: We emphasize clear, structured communication from day one. Whether it’s group emails, one-on-one check-ins, or reporting tools, we set expectations early and follow up to ensure engagement.

Ask Yourself: How often does your team communicate? Could regular check-ins or reminders help boost accountability?

3. Skill Gaps in Key Areas
Have you hired someone, only to realize they’re missing the critical skills needed for the job? This can be particularly problematic in healthcare, where specialized knowledge is essential.

Advize’s Solution: Before we bring anyone onto a project, we ensure they meet the specific skill requirements. And when necessary, we offer targeted training to bridge gaps. If a team member simply can’t meet expectations, we make swift adjustments to protect project outcomes.

Ask Yourself: Are you thoroughly vetting candidates for key skills? What processes could you put in place to better assess capabilities before hiring?
