VBC Insights: Richard Heim: Hospital Locum Tenens: An Alternative Value Add
Host Daniel J. Marino talks with Richard Heim from LocumsPro to discuss some of the benefits locum tenens bring to hospital patients and staff. Today, most hospital physicians are experiencing some level of burnout due to increased challenges with greater work activities, high levels of patient needs, and low staffing levels. These challenges lead to a desire for early retirement and physicians looking for new medical-related career options.

As an alternative, many hospitals are turning to locum tenens for physician staffing support providing value to the hospital, its workforce, and most importantly, for patients.
