All Star’s “Red Carpet” Service Means a Focus on Patient Care
We’re regularly reminded of the impact providers have on the individuals they treat. Their commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate care inspires our own absolute dedication to making quality locum tenens and direct-hire matches for providers and facilities. In fact, from start to finish in the staffing process, our commitment to deliver “Red Carpet” Service means All Star Healthcare Solutions puts patients first.
Multifaceted Matches
The first step to finding staffing solutions for your facility always starts with getting to know your needs. In addition to learning what’s driving the demand for staff — census spikes, vacation coverage, filling staffing voids, or anything else — our consultative approach develops a well-rounded understanding of your patient population. Our consultants will solicit details about clinical procedures common to the position or overall community health concerns, for example. Also, tell us about patient wait times and even community socioeconomic issues that may affect healthcare services. No detail is inconsequential.
What’s more, All Star consultants pay as much attention to getting to know providers — how they prefer to work and their motivations for pursuing locum tenens or new direct-hire jobs, for instance. This familiarity, along with understanding the variety of circumstances affecting needs at your facility, prepares our recruiters to match providers’ skills and backgrounds to your locum tenens and/or direct-hire requirements, including presenting individuals who will collaborate, coordinate, and communicate with existing staff teams, all of which benefits patient care.
Comprehensive Credentialing
All Star’s thorough credentialing process verifies each locums provider’s professional and educational background, including post-graduate training certifications, continuing medical education, and recent case logs. Plus, our Medical Staff Services specialists work closely with your representatives to complete all facility credentialing requirements, such as supplying documentation. Following these extensive vetting processes adds layers of assurance that your patients will be cared for by high-caliber physicians and advanced practice providers.
Quick Response
We understand patients may be impacted if urgent staffing needs aren’t fulfilled. All Star continually builds our network of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified registered nurse anesthetists so we have the agility to respond to calls for immediate locum tenens support. Our goal is to match providers not only to your clinical qualifications, but also your timeframe so patients receive the services they need when they need them.
We recognize that your hospital, clinic, or private practice group has long-term needs, too. Our Locums recruiters strategize with your representatives to plan ahead for holidays, vacations, or other factors that influence future temporary staffing needs. We also take it one step further: consultants in our Locums and Direct Hire Divisions confer with each other to address all your staffing concerns.
Specialty Services
A recent study by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology concluded more than 46 percent of the country’s counties do not have a permanent practicing cardiologist. What’s more, researchers found citizens in cardiology deserts drive an average 87 miles to and from appointments with the nearest cardiologist. Another report from the March of Dimes indicates one out of every three counties lack an obstetric clinician. But small towns aren’t the only locations looking for physicians and advanced practitioners in various specialties. All Star works with providers in all medical specialties to help facilities deliver the care patients need the most. Whether your circumstances demand additional staff to satisfy ongoing needs or occasional supplemental support with locum tenens assignments, we are ready to assist.
Wait Management
It’s difficult to concretely gauge how long people wait for the next available appointment with primary care providers or specialists on average—various surveys state wait times run between three weeks and more than two months. Of course, staffing gaps can complicate appointment calendars. Clinics, medical offices, and other healthcare organizations can whittle away some of the prolonged wait times with locum tenens providers. Enlisting temporary staff during periods of high demand can help your facility manage caseloads and more effectively satisfy patients’ needs.
Relationship Building
Our signature “Red Carpet” Service of always going above and beyond means cultivating strong, ongoing relationships with client facilities. Continually expanding our knowledge of your staffing needs and patient populations empowers us to understand your unique circumstances and how to best impact your facility, your staff, and of course, your patients.
