The term locum tenens is latin for “holding one’s place” and represents the temporary physician, physicianassistant, and nurse practitioner staffing industry. Barton Associates recruits and assigns locums to temporary assignments (short and long term) at medical facilities and practices across the U.S. in a wide variety of practice areas. Locum tenens assignments can range from a few shifts to a year or more.
The most common reasons for using locum tenens physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners include:
WHAT IS LOCUM TENENS STAFFING?
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF LOCUM TENENS STAFFING?
Locum tenens staffing is an effective way for facilities and practices to maximize patient access and ensure continuity of care. And, since locum tenens services are billable, leveraging a locum is a critical revenue generation tool for many of our clients.
In addition, Barton Associates provides medical malpractice insurance for all of its locums on assignment, free of charge. While our locum is on assignment, you’ll only pay Barton Associates an agreed upon amount. Unlike hiring a permanent employee, there are no costs associated with things like medical benefits, retirement plans, payroll taxes, or medical malpractice insurance.
