When I started at LocumTenens.com almost 16 years ago, locums were truly a Band-Aid. In our client’s eyes, it was an unavoidable but not desirable cost and there was a stigma that clinicians who worked locums were not as skilled, qualified, or flat out could not get a job. ?With the growing healthcare shortage, the rise of clinician burnout and the desire from clinicians for more work-life balance, locums tenens has evolved from a short-term Band-Aid into a long term, intermittent workforce staffing solutions powered by highly skilled and competent clinicians. Healthcare organizations now budget for locums and recognize their value. ?Clinicians leaving residency are choosing locums as a career path that better fits their lifestyle. What was once a simple Band-Aid, is now a widely accepted complex workforce solution that will increase as the demand for healthcare clinicians continues to outpace supply. Today, clients are looking to locums organizations for healthcare solutions and most are expecting agencies to partner with them to help with workload demands surrounding credentialing, privileging, accounting and more. We no longer are simply providing staffing services. ?It is expected that we bring value, ideas, education, thought leadership and expertise.

This misconception has everything to do with provider enrollment practices. Provider enrollment is key to operational efficiency.
