A More Effective Approach to Locum Tenens. In filling the physician staffing gaps at your facility, perhaps you rely on locum tenens physicians. You might do so somewhat reluctantly, not realizing that there is a better alternative. At Concorde, we call this alternative supplemental staffing.

Unlike the typical locum tenens arrangement—where a physician works at a facility for a very short time and then leaves for the next assignment—Concorde’s supplemental staffing approach involves a regular pool of doctors who support your staff over time.

We work hard to develop a small group of doctors who match the unique needs and culture of your facility and location. These physicians quickly become more fully integrated into your organization than a traditional locum tenens doctor could. Often, full-time staff assumes Concorde’s supplemental doctors are actually permanent part-time physicians on staff.

We do use some locum tenens physicians, but usually just as vacation fill-ins for supplemental staffing or permanent physicians. Meanwhile, our LTs are still subject to the same rigorous quality standards and cultural screenings we apply to every candidate.

By working with us, you can:

• Take on new contracts or business before hiring permanent staff.
• Keep full-time physicians from being overworked.
• Save money versus hiring permanent doctors, without the insurance and benefits overhead.

Are you ready?
Some 30 million new patients will be insured if the U.S. Senate passes the healthcare reform act. You will need quality physicians to ensure patient care remains a high priority. Concorde Staff Source can help you solve this challenge but in a new and effective way.

Not all supplemental physician staffing agencies should be treated equally. At Concorde, our physicians become more fully integrated into the medical facilities they’re serving. They’re just like any other member of the team.

How do we make this happen?
When you work with Concorde, you have one point of contact. Because of this, we’re able to develop strong relationships and get a full understanding of what your facilities’ needs are.

We can then develop a small group of doctors that match those needs and the culture of your facility and location. Our physicians will return to work for you on a regular basis, so they always hit the ground running. Because they’re so integrated, it becomes hard to distinguish our physicians from your full-time staff.

A Concorde physician you will find can be relied on far more than a typical locum tenen. Our physicians are also known for their experience in performing procedures your facility is currently not providing; helping your full-time staff enhance their quality of care.

In other words, we help you maintain a full, vibrant staff. And that’s exactly what’s needed as we approach the possibility of a new era with more insured patients than ever before.

To us, it’s a matter of trust. You deserve to know where your money goes when you work with a medical staffing firm. How much is the doctor actually being paid? How much is going to malpractice insurance, travel expenses, etc.?

At Concorde Staff Source, we’ve built our business on honest relationships with our clients. One of the fundamental elements of these partnerships is our transparent billing process. We provide detailed, itemized quotes and invoices for every client, every time.

Meanwhile, some firms will only give you a vague document that leaves you in the dark about exactly how your money is being spent. Others will introduce fees on the back end for “credentialing,” travel coordinating and more.

You don’t need the surprises. And with Concorde’s transparent billing, you don’t have to worry. It’s not only important to a trusting business relationship; it’s also helpful for accounting purposes because you can easily line up what you’re paying your locum tenens physicians against the revenue their services are bringing in.

The same commitment to operating on the level also applies to our physician placement and allied health placement services, where you pay only for successful results, nothours logged.

Transparency—it’s just one more way we’re holding ourselves to higher standards … and delivering better results for you.
