ACUTE SHORTAGE

The problem of manpower shortage in the health care industry has prompted some hospitals and clinics to adopt temporary medical staffing to assuage the shortage and continue to be able to provide health care services to the community.

Temporary medical staffing refers to the hiring of workers such as nursing professionals and allied health professionals such as physical therapists and occupational therapists to fill in the lack while the hospital tries to hire more nurses on a full time basis or finishing the process of hiring and accepting applicants to fill in their vacancies.

Temporary health staffing or temporary medical staffing is different from the hiring of regular employers. A temporary health staffing company will send workers which your hospital or clinic pays on a daily basis.

WHY USE TEMPORARY STAFFING

The question most people will have on their minds is why use temporary medical staffing when you can hire your own health care personnel. The answer is that the process of hiring qualified personnel such as nurses and care givers take time. In the interim, while that is going on, hospitals and other health care facilities must make sure that their operations go on without any interruptions, especially when lives of patients are on the line.

Temporary medical staffing companies offer services, depending on how long the temporary arrangement will last; you can enter into a daily, weekly or monthly contracts. There are even some temporary health companies who can provide you with health care professionals even on a very short notice. Of course the rates for these urgent cases are different; they are usually higher than standard programs.

With the acute shortage of health care staff, temporary medical staffing is really a big help in ensuring that the operation and provision of health care services to the people will not be affected.
