I think we find the use of temporary traveling nurses to be lower again in both segments.

Jul 29, 2025 / receipt, needs a key / AJ Rice, analyst | earnings call 2025-07-29 | transcript bce06e6c-aa97-4016-8599-e811d23a5a9d | chars 31130-31219 | segment 31

On the acute side, we've generally been able to fill all of our necessary positions, but obviously, often at a higher cost using a temporary label and traveling nurses, et cetera. Although, you know, as we indicated in our prepared remarks, you know, those numbers have declined significantly.

Feb 28, 2024 / receipt, needs a key / Steve Filton, CFO | earnings call 2024-02-28 | transcript fae7f32c-2756-4d5d-84b7-250ddb8494e5 | chars 9838-10131 | segment 9

On the acute side, we've generally been able to fill all of our necessary positions, but obviously often at a higher cost using a temporary label and traveling nurses, et cetera. Although, you know, as we indicated in our prepared remarks, you know, those numbers have declined significantly.

Feb 28, 2024 / receipt, needs a key / Steve Filton, CFO | earnings call 2024-02-28 | transcript fae7f32c-2756-4d5d-84b7-250ddb8494e5 | chars 57248-57540 | segment 58

And I said this earlier, we're also saying no to some of the really, really egregious temporary and traveling rates where we're just saying, look, it doesn't make sense for us to pay XYZ for a nurse if we're only getting paid ABC from a payer.

Apr 26, 2022 / receipt, needs a key / CEO, CEO | earnings call 2022-04-26 | transcript 4330cd7d-42e8-4f1e-bf9b-0c7d9ba7d516 | chars 33731-33974 | segment 33

And the point that you raise is a good one. Honestly, the rise in that expense is, I think, driven more by rate than by volume, meaning we're not necessarily using more nurses, more hours. We're using some greater number, but you know, the rates are just, you know, going crazy as I think it's been written about and sort of reported on, you know, broadly across the country. So, you know, normally I would say to you that, you know, we'd replace premium pay temporary traveling nurses with our own employee nurses who would make, you know, 50% less or something like that. But I think in some cases, we're able, however you want to look at it, either we're paying three times more for a temporary or traveling nurse than we would for a base pay, or if we can replace that nurse with an employee, we'll be paying a third. The difference is quite significant.

Feb 25, 2022 / receipt, needs a key / Mark, other | earnings call 2022-02-25 | transcript c6e7d3f8-7249-4717-a034-0053e936f55f | chars 22419-23277 | segment 22

The challenge is that the churn or the turnover or the number of employees leaving at the same time for us as well as I believe most other hospitals is also quite large and I think driven in large part by the COVID surge as well because many nurses in particular have the opportunity to work in a more acute setting in an ICU, in an ER, et cetera, and earn 400 or 500% of their salary if they're willing to travel or to work in a COVID environment.

Oct 26, 2021 / receipt, needs a key / Steve Fulton, CEO | earnings call 2021-10-26 | transcript 07739674-4e75-4148-b2fe-e8b359cd64e8 | chars 7800-8248 | segment 8

As far as staffing in the acute side, I mean, I think we're feeling these labor pressures that I alluded to, certainly in both business segments. But I think what we have found, and I think this has been true throughout the pandemic, is that on the acute side, the labor shortage tends to manifest itself in higher premium hours and premium pay. So in other words, we're able to fill most of our vacant, mostly nursing hours, but but we fill it with premium pay that could either be overtime from our own employees, shift differential, temporary nurses, traveling nurses, et cetera. It's a very expensive alternative, but for the most part, we're able to fill most of our hours.

Oct 26, 2021 / receipt, needs a key / Marco, other | earnings call 2021-10-26 | transcript 07739674-4e75-4148-b2fe-e8b359cd64e8 | chars 10322-11000 | segment 10

We're seeing some early indications of that leading to some also easing of the labor pressures, although again, I'll repeat what I've also said again a number of times, I think there is a time lag there, and because a lot of these both that we make to nurses, traveling nurses and temporary nurses, and that nurses make to other facilities, you know, have a, you know, sort of time lapse associated with them, we don't feel the impact of those declining COVID volumes on the labor pressures immediately.

Oct 26, 2021 / receipt, needs a key / Steven Mark, CFO | earnings call 2021-10-26 | transcript 07739674-4e75-4148-b2fe-e8b359cd64e8 | chars 27052-27555 | segment 27

As your question alludes, one of the early things that we did was try and reduce the amount of premium labor and that includes things like overtime, the use of temporary nurses, the use of traveling nurses, and those were significantly reduced in the second quarter and I think contribute to a lot of the labor reduction in the quarter.

Oct 30, 2020 / receipt, needs a key / Peter, CFO | earnings call 2020-10-30 | transcript e57bf5e1-35dd-42c9-95b8-a62bae28a091 | chars 14586-14922 | segment 14

Yeah, look, I will share my view, and I'll caveat it by saying I'm not sure that it's entirely supported by objective evidence, but as I think about an environment where emergency room visits across the country are down 25 or 30 percent, and schools are closed, and travel is severely restricted, and still am able to say that sort of pre this second wave of COVID, our behavioral volumes were back to something pretty close to pre-COVID levels.
