Sumo Medical Staffing’s Post

Anticipating staffing shortages at your hospital/healthcare facility? Locum tenens pros can help ensure that your patient care doesn’t suffer. Locum tenens staffing can bring you highly qualified healthcare professionals eager to help you provide the care your patients need while they enjoy working at your facility for a few weeks or months…as needed. Locum tenens staffing firms tend to have rigorous vetting processes yet can place a highly qualified locum – or locums – at your facility within days. Locums can help you fill critical gaps quickly, helping to keep your facility’s operations running smoothly and your patient care at a level your patients deserve…and expect. #LocumTenensRecruiter #LocumTenensStaffing #LocumTenens

Each day this week, NALTO celebrates the locum tenens industry and the tremendous impact temporary physicians and advanced practice providers have on America’s healthcare system. Locum tenens providers don’t deserve our appreciation for only one week a year. While the locum tenens staffing model has been a true success story, especially in recent years, our industry is not without its threats. Potential federal legislation that would classify locum tenens providers as full-time employees, along with the growing shortage of healthcare providers, could spell the end of this business if action isn’t taken. That’s why NALTO encourages our agency, vendor, and affiliate members to speak out. Find out how you can participate in NALTO’s advocacy efforts at https://loom.ly/_3Fvl_8 Did you know? NALTO has committed to addressing the nation's physician shortage by lobbying for the passage of the Healthcare Provider Shortage Minimization Act (HR 5208). The bill aims to add 14,000 Medicare-supported residency positions over the next seven years. Since 2020, we've been at the forefront, rallying support for this critical piece of legislation. In fact, several NALTO board members were on Capitol Hill in July in support of this legislation. HR 5208 does more than add residency positions; it would also permanently recognize locum tenens providers as independent contractors–a major victory for our members. Please contact your US Representatives today: https://loom.ly/Lbo9zUY As we honor these dedicated professionals who crisscross the country to deliver care where it’s needed, we continue to encourage member agencies to join us in celebrating their contributions. Remember to @ tag NALTO and use the #LocumTenensWeek hashtag in your social media posts, and we’ll reshare your messages with our followers. #LocumTenensWeek #LocumTenens

This week marks National Locum Tenens Week, an ideal moment to recognize the crucial role locum tenens play in healthcare. These professionals are the lifeline that bridges gaps in patient care, stepping in when hospitals are short-staffed, when physicians are on extended leave, or when temporary support is needed during the search for a full-time physician. We connect healthcare facilities with top-tier physicians, ensuring continuous and seamless patient care. Our specialized staffing industry exists to support healthcare providers exactly when they need it most. But National Locum Tenens Week is more than just an annual celebration—it’s a chance to advocate for the future of our industry. We encourage you to support H.R. 5208, the Healthcare Provider Shortage Minimization Act, which protects the rights of locum tenens providers to practice as independent contractors. By sending a message to Congress at this link https://bit.ly/3oV7QA3 you can help ensure that millions of Americans continue to have access to the vital healthcare services that sustain our communities. #LocumTenensWeek #WorkHealth #HealthCareStaffing #ImprovingLives #PatientCare

With over a decade of leadership experience in the locum tenens industry, it’s truly amazing that Health Systems still consistently tell us that they are unhappy with the credentialing services (or lack thereof) provided by their locum agency partners.  Credentialing locums can be a real headache for Health Systems and when done improperly, can lead to issues like voids in patient care, loss of billing and the closing of clinics.   So, what's the solution you may ask? Alumni Healthcare Staffing is consistently considered the best at credentialing locum providers in the industry. We have a recent case study highlighting how we turned historic 120 day turnaround times into 45 days.   This means that if you find yourself with locum coverage needs, our team will work tirelessly to ensure that our candidates get privileged and onboarded quicker than any other organization.   If you are interested in hearing more about how our process and credentialing team will give you renewed confidence in your locum coverage, please let us know and Join the New Class of Locum Tenens today! #locum #locumtenens #credentialing

NHS hospitals with local clinical capacity challenges are switching on temporary support from remote NHS consultants on our National Consultant Network (NCN) in time for winter to help reduce waiting lists and unnecessary referrals. 🧑⚕️ Acting as ‘virtual locums’, via the Consultant Connect platform, the NCN can:  💬 Answer pre-referral Advice & Guidance (A&G) calls and/or messages: our outcome data shows that 70% of calls to elective specialties avoid an unnecessary hospital visit   💻 Review and action e-RS A&G worklists: our integration with e-RS means A&G worklists can be viewed, responded to and actioned as they would on e-RS but up to four times faster   📉 Clinically triage waiting list backlogs or new referrals as they come in: of over 70,000 referrals reviewed, 30% of patients were safely returned to primary care with a management plan devised by consultants https://lnkd.in/e3d6xyQn #NHS #ClinicalCapacity #SpecialistAdvice #ReferralTriage

Using locum tenens professionals at your hospital or healthcare facility isn’t just about relieving the stress on your full-time staff. It also can be the jumpstart of your facility’s/staff’s need for innovation. Locums’ diverse backgrounds and healthcare experiences can spark new ideas, while also encouraging you to optimize processes, fostering a company ethos of continuous learning. Many suburban hospitals report that their locums share their knowledge on, for example, how to work with non-English-speaking patients, learned when they worked in an inner-city clinic. (Locums also learn new skills and patient-care protocols: learning goes both ways when you bring on locum professionals.) Locum healthcare pros provide more value than filling in staffing gaps or shortages: they can help your facility evolve in ways that benefit both your staff and your patients. #LocumTenensStaffing #RuralHospitalStaffing #LocumTenensAgency
