Sumo Medial Staffing

It’s relatively easy – even for hospitals and other healthcare facilities, to become staid and “set in our ways.” 

Working with a locum tenens staffing agency can help your practice stay on top of ever-changing trends and circumstances. 

Here’s how. 

A quick response to healthcare emergencies

If the pandemic taught all of us anything, it’s that everything can change in an instant. Having pre-set relationship with a locum tenens agency can help you fill staffing gaps quickly as needed, providing absolutely critical support during emergencies. 

Help with caring for your geriatric patients

Is your patient population aging but you not yet ready to take on full time geriatric healthcare pros? 

Locum tenens geriatric healthcare pros can help you provide necessary expertise, ensuring that your older patients receive the care they need, allowing you the time to determine if the increased need is temporary or permanent. 

How do you approach maternal healthcare needs?

Is there a baby boom happening in your area, but you’re unsure if this is permanent? Bring on locum maternity NPs and other associate health pros on a temporary basis. Your new moms and their babies thus will get the important start-of-life care they need. 

Stay abreast – and in the moment – with ever-changing tech advances

Tech is changing seemingly…All. The. Time. It’s extremely difficult to keep up. Yet the professionals brought to your site by a locum tenens agency – who have worked in many different settings – often have personal experience with the latest in technological medical tech and treatments, thus helping you integrate these advancements/changes smoothly.  

Better flexibility/efficiency in your operations

Locum tenens staffing offers you great flexibility when it comes to managing your workforce. You can adjust your staffing levels quickly and as needed, only when needed, all the while keeping the high-quality care you provide your patients, but without taking on the financial burden full-time hires require. 

Spend finite monies on things OTHER than long-term employment costs

Technology “ages” pretty quickly today. Updating it/replacing it is expensive. Locum tenens staffing can mean you can redirect funds to upgrades/new purchases rather than the high employment costs full-time team members incur. 

On-the-job “professional development” to full-time staff

Locum professionals, by the very fact that move from healthcare facility to healthcare facility, end up having pretty diverse experiences, leading them to learn new technologies and skills. These skills can be passed on to your permanent staff by the locums, thereby contributing to staff development. 

New perspectives from the locums themselves

Healthcare professionals who sign up with locum staffing agencies tend to be those looking for diversity of experience, happy to learn new things and experience new environments…and patients from different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. 

As a result, they’ll more than likely bring that experience from those environments to your facility, helping your full-time staff become more sensitive to patients and their care. 

SUMO Staffing can help your medical practice/hospital better respond to an ever-changing healthcare landscape by bringing locum tenens professionals to your site as needed.
