SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, August 3, 2004 - Jobscience (http://www. jobscience. com (http://www. jobscience. com)), the InternetÂ’s top healthcare applicant tracking provider, counts over four hundred innovative healthcare employers as clients. The past decade has seen many innovations to improve staffing effectiveness and retention, reduce reliance on staffing agencies and overtime, raise service and safety levels.
