When you do business with MedTemps, you have the satisfaction of knowing that we are invested in your success because Memphis Medical Society’s mission is to advance healthcare in the Mid-South and beyond.
Staffing agencies have the perception that they often automatically take away from the bottom line of a medical practice or hospital, but consider this the next time you have a vacancy:
- How long does it take you to create a job description?
- How long does it take you to post a job?
- How long does it take you to review applicants?
- How long does it take you to schedule interviews?
Once you hopefully make a hire, the process is far from over. How much additional time is needed to finalize the start date, complete onboarding, and coordinate the many people, systems, and tasks involved? Additionally, is the individual managing this process responsible solely for recruitment and onboarding, or are they balancing these duties alongside other operational responsibilities?
While you’re asking these questions, you’re losing money. You can’t schedule as many patients. While MedTemps can staff any position in a medical practice, let’s look at this through the lens of the Medical Assistant, often the backbone of a great medical clinic.
Even conservative estimates suggest that insufficient MA support can reduce physician productivity by 15–30%.
For example, if a physician sees five fewer patients per day due to staffing limitations, and the average reimbursement is approximately $150 per visit, that could represent roughly $15,000 per month in lost revenue opportunity.
Without adequate MA support, practices will experience:
- Slower room turnover
- Reduced patient volume
- Increased physician administrative burden
- Delays in clinical workflows
- Stressed patients
- Stressed staff
And that $15,000 monthly amount referenced above is far less than the additional fees you incur with MedTemps. And don’t forget, some organizations take more than two months to fill a position on their own.
