Challenge:
With provider retirements and a need for call-coverage assistance, one level 2 trauma center was feeling the strain from a critical shortage in its women’s health department. Seeking support for its labor and delivery department, the facility partnered with LocumTenens.com to create an entirely new program. Acting as a bridge to sustain operations until permanent providers were in place, LocumTenens.com took charge of creating the facility's scheduling and call schedule, assigning six providers to ensure complete support.
Solution:
Taking on the role of the facility’s sole staffer, providers were scheduled for six-month periods to ensure lasting coverage within its women’s health departments. As the leading job board for the locum tenens industry, LocumTenens.com is fully equipped with trusted, skilled providers.

Result:
