UofL Health Selects SimpliFi as Managed Service Provider to Power Workforce Strategy

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SimpliFi, a premier workforce solutions provider, is proud to announce its partnership with UofL Health, a leading academic health system, as its new Managed Service Provider (MSP). This collaboration marks a major step forward in modernizing workforce operations, optimizing labor strategy, and supporting high-quality patient care across the organization.

"We're honored to partner with UofL Health, an organization known for clinical excellence and innovation," said James Quick, President of SimpliFi. "Our goal is to help UofL Health create a more agile, efficient workforce model — one that empowers internal staff, improves visibility across labor resources, and ensures the right talent is in place to deliver exceptional patient care."

Through this partnership, SimpliFi will lead the implementation and ongoing optimization of the Workday VNDLY Vendor Management System (VMS) platform, bringing advanced workforce visibility, data-driven decision-making, and streamlined contingent labor management to UofL Health.

SimpliFi's MSP model focuses on workforce optimization strategies that help health systems balance cost, quality, and continuity of care. In addition to traditional contingent labor management, SimpliFi is expanding UofL Health's internal workforce capabilities by leveraging innovative gig-based staffing solutions.

A key component of this strategy is the Stogo app, SimpliFi's local gig work platform, which is already live and successfully supporting flexible shift coverage. Through this partnership, UofL Health utilizes the Stogo app to help fill shifts with internal employees, empowering their workforce with more control while reducing reliance on external staffing.

"At UofL Health, our people are at the heart of everything we do," said Laura Atkinson, SVP and Chief People Officer, UofL Health. "Partnering with SimpliFi allows us to strengthen our workforce strategy with better tools, greater flexibility, and smarter systems that support our teams and the patients who depend on us."

Together, UofL Health and SimpliFi are building a workforce strategy designed for the future — one that blends technology, flexibility, and operational excellence to meet the evolving demands of healthcare.
