How Healthcare Facilities Are Using Reputation Data

Early adopters share their experience with trust-based staffing

We launched the OnLocum Reputation System six months ago.

Since then, facilities across Kenya have started using reputation data to make smarter staffing decisions.

Here's what we're learning.

Facility Insights

Use Case 1: Emergency Coverage

The situation: Level 4 hospital needs a nurse within 4 hours. Night shift. Acute ward.

Traditional approach:

• Call agency
• Hope whoever shows up is qualified
• Pay 40% premium

OnLocum approach:

• Filter for Pro/Elite tier nurses
• Check who's available tonight
• View reputation scores and recent reviews
• Select and confirm within 30 minutes

The difference: Known quality. Lower cost. Faster confirmation.

Use Case 2: Building a Regular Pool

The situation: Clinic wants to build a reliable team of locum nurses they can call repeatedly.

Traditional approach:

• Work with whoever agencies send
• Remember good ones, avoid bad ones
• Manage it all mentally or in spreadsheets

OnLocum approach:

• Save favorite providers
• Track performance over time
• Build "preferred" list of verified regulars
• Request specific providers for recurring needs

The difference: Continuity of care. Reduced orientation time. Stronger relationships.

Use Case 3: Quality Auditing

The situation: Hospital administrator wants to ensure locum quality matches permanent staff standards.

Traditional approach:

• Incident reports only (reactive)
• No systematic tracking
• Impossible to compare providers

OnLocum approach:

• View aggregated performance data
• Compare locum scores to benchmarks
• Identify patterns (late arrivals, complaints)
• Make data-driven decisions

The difference: Proactive quality management. Evidence-based staffing.
