From Coverage to Control: One Physician Workforce. Fully Optimized

Thursday, April 30th, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

The era of siloed physician staffing is ending. Yet many health systems still manage locums and permanent recruitment separately, creating higher labor costs, longer vacancy windows and fragmented visibility across service lines.

Leading organizations are rethinking this approach.

In this session, healthcare leaders will explore how aligning locums and permanent staffing creates a unified workforce strategy that improves financial performance, reduces reliance on premium labor and stabilizes clinical coverage.

By coordinating teams, sharing data and aligning accountability, health systems can turn physician staffing from a reactive function into a strategic advantage.

You’ll learn:

  • How integrated staffing aligns short-term coverage with long-term workforce goals
  • Where shared workforce data uncovers unnecessary labor spend
  • How coordinated recruiting reduces vacancy timelines and premium labor reliance
