The Healthcare Staffing Report

the healthcare staffing report logo Today I'm launching The Healthcare Staffing Report. The Healthcare Staffing Report is a site of aggregated news links, curated from hundreds of industry sources. From my perspective, finding relevant news for the healthcare staffing industry is difficult because the sources are fragmented and in most cases delivered through outdated, subscription models.

The purpose of this site is to deliver useful news content to participants in the healthcare staffing industry – free of charge. If you’re a staffing agency, hospital, healthcare professional, industry association, or a technology/service provider within the healthcare staffing industry, you now have a single source of relevant news links that will benefit you in your career.

The best part? The links on this site aren’t just static feeds from around the web. These links are curated top stories from hundreds of sources such as blogs, associations, news outlets, etc.

Currently, the news links on the site are updated daily and fall into the categories of:

  • Today's Headline
  • Top Industry News
  • Staffing Agencies
  • Hospitals & Health Systems
  • Healthcare Professionals
  • Government & Economy
  • Sales & Marketing
  • Social Media
  • Vendor Management
  • Technology
  • Healthcare IT
  • Just for Fun

The Healthcare Staffing Report also provides several opportunities for you to promote your company in the form of ads and sponsored links that are ‘followed’ to increase your SEO. (The news story links are not followed.)

The sites promotion opportunities include:

  • Top Page Leaderboard Ads
  • Mid-Page Square Ads
  • Sponsored Links to promote your website, press release or other relevant news
  • Upcoming Events to promote your webinar, trade show, user group, etc.

If you have questions or an industry relevant link, story or news source you would like to see on this site you can contact me and submit the information to the Healthcare Staffing Report directly.

Is Facebook Optimization the New SEO? Last week I blogged about the Facebook Like button. Now that people have been using it for a couple of weeks some interesting findings have been uncovered. Today, CNN had a great article discussing the implication of this new social sharing/linking feature. In the article they explain that Facebook 'Likes' as a form of social links. These links potentially carry more value because they are related to a specific user. In contrast, Google gives value to links based on their connection to sites. Further, Google doesn't have full access to search Facebook and index these links. Ru oh raggy. If Facebook's 'Like' linking system takes off it could mean that Facebook becomes the new keeper of the gates, so to speak, when it comes to ranking and indexing the web. For people doing SEO this could mean that Facebook Optimization is just as, if not more, important than Search Engine Optimization. The Facebook Like button is already spreading quickly. Almost every site I've gone to in the last 2 weeks has a shiny new Facebook Like button on it and many people are already figuring out new plugins to optimize its use and data. Although this is good for Facebook, there are many open web advocates who think this is a bad thing. With this and some of Apple's recent announcements and products like their IPad, it does spark some cause for concern. Allowing single companies to control the web, set standards for it and collect all of our personal...
