MedAxiom, the cardiovascular community’s premier source for organizational performance solutions, is excited to announce an industry partnership with ProLocums.
ProLocums is a physician-owned, physician-led locum tenens staffing solution delivering patient-centric, timely care with a concentration on cardiovascular physician staffing. With an ever-evolving digital approach to hiring, ProLocums matches high-quality physicians to healthcare facilities for both short- and long-term staffing support.
“We are excited to welcome ProLocums to the MedAxiom community,” said Joe Sasson, PhD, MedAxiom’s executive vice president of Ventures and chief commercial officer. “Prolocums is a great addition to the MedAxiom community with their commitment to empowering cardiovascular service lines, programs and practices through broader access to supplemental physician coverage that can reduce administrative burden and overhead costs.”
“Cardiologists are, on average, the oldest physician specialists in practice, with an average age of 59,” said Ish Singla, MD, ProLocums’ founder and CEO. “And by 2030, all the baby boomers will have turned 65 years old. These changing demographics will only exacerbate the physician staffing challenges we are facing today. Through integrated vendor management software and accelerated digital credentialing, ProLocums can reduce both the time and costs invested in recruiting locum tenens cardiologists and other specialists.”
“Nearly 7% of the physician workforce are currently working in locum tenens positions,” according to Gupreet Singh, MD, MBA, CPE, chief strategy officer for ProLocums. “Most healthcare facilities cite rising patient demand among their reasons for hiring locum tenens. Meeting the growing needs of the communities they serve alongside a desire to relieve existing clinician burnout are key benefits of locum support. The pandemic has had a lasting impact on clinicians, and many are prioritizing the need for work-life balance. Working locums allows physicians to shape their work around their life, rather than the other way around. It is a great solution for both healthcare facilities as well as physicians and other clinicians.”
