Demand for advanced practice providers (APPs) has grown exponentially in recent years, and 74% of healthcare organizations surveyed by LocumTenens.com answered affirmatively when asked, “Do you plan to expand APP coverage?”, signaling that the market for providers who improve patient access to care and help reduce physician burnout is poised for more growth. This and other findings are available in a recently released report, “Innovation & Flexibility: The Journey to Sustainable Healthcare.”
In the report, hospitals cite their top three concerns: Attracting talent (26%), avoiding burnout (21%), and retaining talent (19%). Employers from 26% of facilities report using Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Anesthetists in collaborative models where patients benefit from coordinated care. When you combine this model with tools like telehealth and advanced technologies that help optimize workforce planning, we can transform how, where and by whom healthcare is delivered.
It is an evolution versus a revolution, and it is long overdue.
Improving our healthcare system means supplying more options for patients to access the proper specialists and meet them where they are in their communities. Patients are demanding flexibility in their healthcare options, and we can deliver on this request with innovative staffing solutions. The rapidly evolving healthcare staffing landscape requires more than just placing clinicians into open roles; it requires a sophisticated workforce planning strategy. Our newly launched Clinical Operations Division enables us to embrace a strategic approach, supported by clinical knowledge, data and technologies to ensure optimal staffing solutions for comprehensive patient care.
