Kamana brings workflow efficiency and security to an antiquated industry, connecting healthcare employers with qualified professionals to fill contract staffing needs.
The contract healthcare staffing industry is fundamentally flawed. Travel healthcare professionals, who change locations (and employers) every three months, consistently complain about the lack of continuity across the industry. Employers and recruiters lament repetitive manual tasks and the lack of automation in their workflows. Although staffing agencies and healthcare facilities are experiencing explosive growth, they struggle to maximize talent management processes in a truly profitable—or efficient—way.
Kamana co-founder and Jacksonville native John Modica spent five years as an ER travel nurse across the nation. During his search for new contracts, John faced a barrage of offers that didn’t match his qualifications, experience, or preferences. Frustrated by repetitive, time-consuming processes tied to job-changing every quarter, John decided to create a solution.
Within months, John and his co-founders launched Kamana, an online platform for contract healthcare professionals and their recruiters/employers to connect, engage, and manage their careers with greater efficiency.
Looking Ahead:
The demand for flexible employment is rising globally, and healthcare is no exception. Today’s solutions do not support tomorrow’s workforce. Kamana is reimagining the industry, positioning itself as the central point of operational efficiency—getting healthcare workers where they need to go, exactly when they need to be there. Through Kamana’s tech-driven solutions, reducing financial waste in this manual industry is now a realistic goal.
- Matching algorithms swiftly connect qualified nurses with available employers.
- In-app messaging streamlines an otherwise fragmented onboarding process, cutting days off the timeline.
- Professional portfolio management allows nurses to share a single, up-to-date profile with any recruiter, at any agency, providing a competitive edge in a fast-paced hiring market.
By unifying professional profiles and credential management, healthcare talent spends more time building relationships with the right employers—and less time searching for them.
Employers benefit from Kamana’s submission-ready documentation and the accelerated onboarding process it enables. Kamana’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) product enhances internal security, and gives recruiters a competitive advantage, appealing to talent seeking employers that innovate with tech-driven processes.
Kamana’s Roots in Jacksonville:
Kamana is proudly rooted in Jacksonville, and excited to contribute to the city’s innovation wave. Three of Kamana’s founders are Jacksonville natives. Dave currently resides in Denver, CO; Nick and Kiere in Richmond, VA; and John recently returned to Jacksonville’s Riverside neighborhood after years as a travel nurse.
