Why direct

What you stop paying for

Agency coverage carries costs that have nothing to do with patient care. A direct contract removes them.

01Lean, physician-owned pricingRun by a practicing hospitalist, not a sales team. Less of your hourly rate goes to overhead.
02Florida-basedLocal coverage means no travel or housing costs. When travel is needed, it's billed at cost with no markup.
03The same doctor every timeCredentialed with your medical staff office once, then back for every block already knowing your EHR, your nurses and your consultants.
04One simple contractBilled hourly against approved timesheets. No minimums and no long-term commitment.
Coverage

Built around how you run your service

Every hospital staffs its hospitalist service differently. Coverage fits your existing model, schedule and shift lengths, booked as blocks or single shifts. The setups below are common examples.

e.g. 7a – 7p

Day rounding

Full census rounding, discharges, family meetings and consult coordination.

e.g. 4p – 4a

Admitting / swing

ED admissions through the evening surge, cross-cover and rapid responses.

e.g. 7p – 7a

Nocturnist

Overnight admissions and cross-cover. Open-ICU coverage with bedside procedures in rural settings.

e.g. Fri – Mon

Weekend and gap

Weekend blocks, vacancies, leave coverage and the gap while you recruit permanent staff.

Full scope, as your model needs it

  • ED admissions
  • Cross-cover
  • Census rounding
  • Discharges and transitions
  • Rapid responses and codes
  • Step-down and telemetry
  • Open ICU management
  • Intubation
  • Central venous access
  • Level-of-care and status decisions
  • Payer peer-to-peers for LTAC, SNF and rehab placements

From admitting-only nights in a closed-ICU hospital to running the ICU as the only physician in the building, coverage adapts to your setup.

Practice

Right patient, right bed, right length of stay

Locum coverage should move your throughput numbers in the right direction, not just fill the schedule.

Admit when it's justifiedInpatient versus observation decided on the clinical picture, documented to support the status.
Discharge when it's safeDischarge planning starts at admission, working with case management so patients leave when they're ready, not a day later.
No stays held up by low-value careTests and consults that won't change management don't hold up a discharge or add cost to the stay.
