Humla Joins Mayo Clinic Platform to Streamline Nurse Staffing

Founded in 2022 by nurses, Humla operates a digital marketplace that connects health systems directly with vetted staff. The company claims its model significantly lowers overhead costs while boosting nurse compensation by replacing agency markups with a flat, transparent fee structure. Unlike conventional firms, Humla handles the administrative burden of license re-verification, background checks, and drug screening through an automated system that monitors compliance every 24 hours.

For health systems, the integration offers a pathway to address emergency staffing needs rapidly. According to CEO Jessica Sylvester, the platform allows hospitals to mobilize qualified nurses in days rather than the standard four to five weeks. The Mayo Clinic Platform qualification process, which vetted Humla’s performance and compliance practices, provides a layer of institutional validation for the startup’s technology. While the Mayo Clinic Platform facilitates the deployment of such tools into clinical workflows, it maintains a neutral stance, noting that it does not provide warranties for the performance of third-party solutions.
