Secure Top Locums Before They Even Start Looking

Secure Top Locums

Are You Losing Top Talent Before It Even Starts?

Healthcare facilities face lost revenue, overburdened staff, and declining patient satisfaction due to unfilled roles—and outdated hiring methods. CMOs who wait for burnout and complaints to trigger hiring often face:

  • 90+ days to fill locum physician and APP roles [MGMA]
  • $1,300–$2,800 per day lost in revenue for each unfilled role [AMN Healthcare]
  • Over 70% of health systems report increased burnout due to coverage gaps [Becker’s Hospital Review]

The reactive approach? Last-minute job ads, agencies pushing anyone available, and credentialing delays. By the time you scramble to fill positions, the best locums are already booked. They’re with CMOs who take a proactive approach, and not waiting until it’s too late.

The Opportunity: Lock in the Best Locums Before They Ever Go Looking

Top-performing CMOs are shifting to proactive recruiting and achieving what others can’t. By anticipating staffing needs before they become a crisis, they’re improving results across the board. Here’s what proactive staffing can do for you:

  • Fill Critical Roles Before Gaps Appear: Stay ahead of staffing shortages, ensuring positions are filled smoothly before issues arise.
  • Reduce Provider Burnout: Secure coverage early, easing the pressure on your full-time staff and preventing burnout.
  • Retain Top Talent for Repeat Assignments: Build long-term relationships with high-quality locums to ensure continuity and stability.
  • Increase Patient Satisfaction and Care Continuity: With qualified staff in place, patient care improves, leading to higher satisfaction and better outcomes.
  • Protect Revenue by Avoiding Costly Vacancies: Quickly fill critical positions, reducing financial loss from unfilled roles.

Take this example:

“We needed just 8 hours of psych coverage a week. No one was interested. Then MedSource found a perfect-fit Psych NP—Michael—who’s still with us years later.”

This story shows how proactive staffing isn’t just about filling positions; it’s about finding the right provider for the long term, creating stability.

Proactive staffing delivers results:

  • Faster: Positions are filled before you even realize there’s a gap.
  • More Reliable: A dedicated pipeline of qualified locums means you’re not scrambling at the last minute.
  • Long-term Focused: Build lasting relationships with providers, ensuring reduced turnover and team stability.
