Prolucent Health

Prolucent Health provides enterprise-wide workforce optimization software and services for the healthcare industry, addressing critical labor shortages and rising costs. Founded in 2019 by Bruce Springer, a seasoned entrepreneur with extensive experience in healthcare IT including co-founding WebMD, Prolucent aims to modernize how healthcare systems manage their entire workforce. Springer's background includes leadership roles as CEO at Concerro (formerly BidShift), a workforce management SaaS company, providing him with deep insights into the sector's challenges. The company was established to counter the disconnected and costly approaches to healthcare staffing by creating a more equitable and efficient model for both employers and employees.

Prolucent launched in August 2020 with the strategic acquisition of LiquidCompass, a recruitment and talent engagement platform, which became the foundation of its offering. The firm serves hospital systems and healthcare providers, such as Northwell Health and Houston Methodist, by helping them manage and reduce reliance on expensive contract labor while building internal staffing pools. The business model centers on its unified technology platform, LiquidCompass®, combined with Managed Service Provider (MSP) services, generating revenue through software subscriptions and service fees. This platform functions as a comprehensive workforce management tool, integrating internal flexible staff, core staff, and external agency labor into a single system.

The core product, LiquidCompass®, is an AI-driven platform that provides a suite of tools for healthcare organizations. Key features include a "Talent Digital Front Door" to streamline the candidate experience, a Vendor Management System (VMS+) for managing all flexible labor, and the "Market Console" for advanced data analytics, offering real-time market intelligence on labor trends and benchmarks. For healthcare employers, this translates into an improved ability to attract talent, manage contingent and internal flexible labor more efficiently, and make data-informed staffing decisions to control costs. For healthcare workers, the platform offers a centralized jobs marketplace with tools to manage their careers and apply for a wide range of positions, from temporary to full-time roles. Prolucent has successfully raised $15.5 million over two Series A funding rounds to expand its services and product capabilities.
