Vaya Workforce

What Vaya Workforce does

Vaya Workforce Solutions is a US-based healthcare workforce management company that operates as a Managed Service Provider (MSP) for hospitals and health systems, with a primary focus on Vizient member organizations. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in San Diego, the company is a subsidiary of Aya Healthcare. Vaya's core service is an agency-funded MSP program in which staffing agency suppliers finance program costs, allowing the MSP offering to be delivered at zero cost to member healthcare organizations. Revenue is generated through supplier-funded managed service fees and LotusOne platform licensing.

The company's product center is LotusOne, a proprietary healthcare workforce management platform that extends beyond traditional vendor management system (VMS) capabilities. LotusOne provides vendor management, internal resource pool (float pool) management, permanent hiring support, credentialing and compliance monitoring, predictive analytics, and workforce planning. A network of 450+ staffing agency suppliers feeds contingent labor across nursing (travel and per diem), allied health, locum tenens, non-clinical roles, interim leadership, EHR staffing, and permanent placement use cases. The company cites over 20 years of contract labor management experience and a Clinical Services team averaging more than 20 years of clinical experience.

Vaya distributes exclusively through direct enterprise sales to healthcare system executives and operates exclusively in the United States with nationwide coverage. Marketing relies on healthcare industry events, customer testimonials (including Guthrie, Rush University System for Health, Nebraska Medicine, and Ochsner Health), and direct enterprise engagement rather than self-serve or channel-based acquisition. The agency-funded pricing model, embedded LotusOne workflows, and Vizient channel positioning form the structural basis of the company's go-to-market.
