Why use locum tenens?
Healthcare facilities are cautious about it, with surveys considering it expensive, and that the learning curve for being familiarized to the facility is too short. Can hiring a locums provider be more rewarding than just waiting for a permanent staffing solution? The answer is yes!

Financial advantages.
Locum tenens providers more than pay for themselves. They maintain continuity of care and the sustainment of patient referrals. Locum tenens solutions can prevent a facility from revenue losses of up to $200,000 a month.

Under Locum Tenens, healthcare organizations will have to shoulder the costs of provider compensation, travel and lodging expenses and on-call and overtime schedules, but they don’t have to pay for the costs of benefits, malpractice insurance, Continuing Medical Education (CME) expenses and employment taxes.

Maintaining continuity of care and referral base.
Demand for healthcare is increasing and patients are more service-savvy than ever. Almost two-thirds of patients view locum tenens providers in a positive light. Other than preserving revenues and continuity of care, healthcare facilities benefit from utilizing a locum tenens service by sustaining a referral base and maintaining patient satisfaction.

Retention.
Locum tenens coverage is also a strategic retention program for permanent, employed providers. Keeping providers content and not overworked is paramount to the success of any healthcare organization in retaining their staff. Surveys show that almost 40% of healthcare facilities now use locum tenens as a retention strategy!
