Rockford, Ill.-based OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center has partnered with CEP America to staff its emergency department, effective Jan. 1.
CEP America provides acute care management and staffing solutions and has more than 2,300 providers.
Paula Carynski, president of OSF Saint Anthony, said a few factors went into the decision to partner with CEP America. "We know that our community depends on our emergency department services, and long wait times compound the stress that comes with an ED visit. With this in mind, our ED made the decision to work with CEP America because their focus on patient satisfaction is aligned with our priority of providing outstanding patient care," she said in a news release.
