## About

AMN Healthcare is the largest medical staffing organization in the United States. The clinicians who work with AMN (doctors, nurses, therapists, etc.) travel throughout the country on assignments, often lasting three to nine months. With the length of these trips, it’s important to AMN to provide their clinicians with a ‘home away from home.’ For many of AMN’s healthcare staff, it’s critical that they’re stationed near their assigned hospital with long-term stay amenities like laundry and kitchens.

## The problem

Chayla S. is one of three operations analysts at AMN Healthcare tasked with booking hotel stays for its hundreds of clinicians.

Prior to finding Engine, **Chayla and her colleagues had no visibility into each other’s bookings.** Instead, each team member would price-shop various sites and have to book across several different platforms, making it difficult to track reservations, ensure duty of care, and reconcile charges.

With demand growing, Chayla’s team knew they needed to implement an easier process for efficiency, visibility, and scale.

For AMN Healthcare, it’s also important to remain within budget and be able to quickly source the right hotels. **Issues like these led the team to look for a more efficient, cost-effective travel solution.**

## The solution

**With Engine, AMN Healthcare now saves money on hotels, earns Engine Rewards points, and receives one consolidated statement for all travel expenses—all while streamlining their booking processes.**

“We use Direct Bill, so we receive just one invoice each month for all our reservations. We simply send it to accounting and they can pay it quickly. It makes things so easy.”

## With Engine

### The Solution: Engine

Engine’s platform has helped solve several pain points for AMN Healthcare. It offers a simple, seamless, and centralized booking process so the team can easily book stays and track reservations at a glance.

### Savings + Rewards

First, the savings available by booking with Engine saved the team countless hours in price-shopping and helped them maximize their travel budget.

AMN Healthcare has also saved thousands of dollars using Engine’s proprietary rewards program—Engine Rewards. “A lot of the reservations we book, and we book a lot, end up being covered by our Engine Rewards points. Some of these reservations are upwards of $7,000-$15,000, so to have them covered is an amazing savings.”

### Recouped Time

Next, Engine allows for clear visibility across the organization. Not only can Chayla and her fellow analysts quickly view all upcoming, past, and present reservations, but Engine’s advanced tools and settings (such as travel policies) have allowed them to open the platform to the traveling clinicians so they can view their options, save favorites, and communicate with Chayla’s team in-platform.

### Direct Billing

Lastly, Engine’s Direct Bill and Incidental Coverage programs have helped AMN Healthcare streamline billing and reconciliation, a welcome benefit for their accounting team. “We use Direct Bill, so we receive just one invoice each month for all our reservations. We simply send it to accounting and they can pay it quickly. It makes things so easy.”
