History of Trio Workforce Solutions

Trio Workforce Solutions has grown from a bold idea to a trusted leader in healthcare workforce management. Our story is one of innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to helping healthcare organizations regain control of their staffing strategies.

A Vision for a Better Way

Trio was founded to solve a growing challenge in healthcare staffing — the need for a smarter, more transparent, and more efficient way to connect healthcare organizations with the talent they need. Our team combined decades of experience in workforce management, staffing, and technology to design a platform and service model that simplifies complexity and puts healthcare leaders back in control.

Building Momentum Through Innovation: Journey to Excellence

From our beginnings as AHSA in 2003 to the creation of Trio Workforce Solutions in 2025, our journey has been about one thing: helping healthcare organizations take control of their workforce. Along the way, we launched innovative technology like Trio VMS, expanded to support locum tenens, nursing, and allied staffing, and introduced solutions like Trio Shifts to optimize internal talent pools.
