CareRev, a labor marketplace platform that connects hospitals and health systems with local healthcare professionals on demand, today announced the closing of a $50 million series A financing round led by Transformation Capital, a growth equity fund solely focused on innovative healthcare IT and services companies. 

Los Angeles-based CareRev offers a cloud-based platform in which hospitals and other healthcare facilities post shifts when they need clinical support, and local, vetted healthcare professionals claim the shifts through their mobile app — eliminating the need for a traditional agency. 

Unlike other healthcare labor marketplace platforms, CareRev offers health systems the technology to create their own hybrid marketplaces in which internal employees are given the option to claim shifts before they’re broadcasted to local, external CareRev professionals.

The platform helps hospitals reduce labor costs, particularly offsetting expensive travel contracts, and gives professionals a more intuitive way to pick up shifts: on their phones.
