B-4 Health

What B-4 Health does

B-4 Health is a cloud-based Vendor Management System (VMS) purpose-built for healthcare organizations, operating as a subsidiary of AMN Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: AHC). Founded circa 2015 and headquartered at the AMN corporate location in Dallas, Texas, the company serves US hospitals and healthcare staffing agencies with workforce management software. Public customer references include Duke University Hospital, Dimensions Healthcare System, an unnamed East Coast Academic Medical System, and an unnamed Maryland regional health system; the company reports serving "hundreds of world class hospitals and agencies."

The B-4 Health Platform comprises an integrated suite of modules: vendor management, 360 Degree Shift Management, Float Pool Management (with mobile app), Billing & Reconciliation, Time & Attendance, Credential Management, and a Reporting Suite. The platform is built around healthcare-specific workflows — credentialing compliance, shift lifecycle, internal float pools, and contingent labor billing — and integrates with hospital HRIS, timekeeping, ERP, payroll, and credentialing systems. Documented customer outcomes include a 20% labor cost reduction, a 400% increase in float pool utilization, and a 19% reduction in agency bill rates.

The business model is enterprise B2B SaaS sold to large health systems and staffing agencies under subscription contracts; no public pricing or free trial is offered. Distribution and capital are provided through parent AMN Healthcare, the largest US healthcare staffing firm. The disclosed employee count is 1–10, indicating the unit operates as a focused product line within AMN rather than as a standalone scaling enterprise. Geographic footprint is US-only with no disclosed international expansion, and no AI/ML features are described in available materials.
