THIRD ASSIST - A Solution For OR Staffing

Apr 05, 2023

Medwork's offers a unique OR staffing solution specifically for urologic, ENT, and gynecologic surgery.

At a time when demands on health care services are rising, the medical industry finds itself challenged with the pressing issue of surgical staffing shortages. With the reduction of the number of healthcare professionals in the workforce, it has become increasingly more difficult to fill necessary positions with qualified personnel. Simply put, there are more jobs than there are available skilled professionals, creating a shift in hiring practices that entails new ways of thinking regarding staffing the OR. One of these alternative hiring solutions involves outsourcing. This multifaceted solution is being utilized in many healthcare organizations. Two big advantages of outsourcing for OR teams include:


  • Providing access to qualified personnel with specialized skill sets.
  • Helping reduce facility costs associated with recruiting and training new employees.



The Third Assist™️ program is a novel staffing solution offered by Medworks specifically for urologic, ENT, and gynecologic surgery. Reps are expertly trained and understand the flow of procedures, surgeon’s preferences, and can troubleshoot many equipment and instrument issues when they arise. Minimizing intraoperative delays is a Medworks priority. Our reps work with OR staff members to ensure that all needed disposables and instruments are in the room and ready to go. This allows surgeons and nurses fewer disruptions resulting in a greater focus on the patient. In addition, Medworks also offers an array of lasers and equipment that can be brought in on a case-by-case basis. To get started:
