Services for Employers
Hospitals, clinics and health care facilities across the country
are discovering the benefits of hiring locum tenens (temporary)
Advanced Practice Professionals (Nurse Practitioners and Physician
Assistants).
Case studies have demonstrated time and time again that hiring
professionals on a temporary basis is an innovative way for
organizations to offer continuity in patient care, retain patients
within the community and realize incredible returns on investment.
These individuals are talented professionals who are motivated to
gain experience, learn from the best providers around and expand
their career possibilities.

The shortage of professional providers, coupled with an
increased demand for services, has caused headaches for health care
administrators. However, by hiring top-notch temporary NP's and
PA's, you can ensure the highest quality care to your patients,
while remaining fully staffed and easing the workload of your
physicians.
Currently, hundreds of government institutions, retail clinics
and skilled nursing facilities successfully use the services of
locum tenens professionals. Many hospitals and clinics have
followed suit, as they have noticed the enormous positive impact
this staffing technique has had on patient care.
- A Cost-Effective Staffing Solution
Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistants can see 80
percent of the patients that physicians do at one-third to one-half
the expense.
- Increased Patient Satisfaction
Some surveys suggest patient satisfaction increases when patients
are seen by an Advanced Practice Nurse or Physician Assistant
(perhaps because they are often able to spend more time with the
individual patient than can physicians).
- An Interdisciplinary Team Approach
Advanced Practice Professionals are part of a trend toward a
collaborative model of healthcare delivery that utilizes an
interdisciplinary team of Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician
Assistants.
- Temporary Services
Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistants offer their
services on a Locum Tenens (temporary) basis in order to ease staff
shortages around the country, including shortages at government
facilities and in Healthcare Professional Shortage Areas.
