"Provider satisfaction is paramount to success for both
healthcare organizations and staffing companies," said Karen Mote,
president of Cross Country Locums. "If we can ask the right
questions to gain a true understanding of providers' experiences,
we'll be better equipped to meet these vital team members' needs,
and that is our ultimate goal.”
Physicians and Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) were surveyed
on their preferences when selecting a new role, motivations for
opting for locum tenens work, and the increasing trend of choosing
locums as a career. Respondents shared perspectives on technology
priorities for healthcare organizations and the potential role of
artificial intelligence in their future careers. The survey also
delved into key issues such as the scope of practice for APPs, the
career effects of COVID-19, insights on the gratifications of being
a provider, self-care practices, and anticipated career paths.

can provide the same level of care as an on-staff provider.
