Facilities are adapting to the modern demands of healthcare as the field continues to evolve in the 21st century. Facilities are playing catch-up, grappling with more variable patient loads and staffing levels, as well as new methods for providing care. At CureHire, we understand that staffing requirements must be flexible, giving coverage today while preparing for tomorrow. This is why we offer customizable services, ranging from temporary (locum tenens) to permanent placement, enabling facilities to adjust, grow, and operate seamlessly.

The Dual Model: Temporary and Permanent Staffing

CureHire’s staffing model is centered on two primary columns: temporary and permanent staffing.
Short-term staffing, often referred to as locum tenens in healthcare, enables facilities to quickly fill coverage gaps due to unforeseen absences, seasonal surges, or special projects. These temporary assignments typically last a few days to several months and do not offer benefits. The advantage? Instant availability and cost-efficient quotes to cover short-term rentals without long-term hiring.

Permanent staffing, in contrast, is about enduring relationships. This model is particularly vital to sites attempting to develop a solid and committed team.” Permanent company hires are screened for company fit, sustainable capacity, and facility goals. It’s a plan that benefits the retention, morale, and continuity of care.

CureHire achieves this delicate balance in style. Whether your company needs a short-term employee to prevent burnout or long-term candidates to fill ongoing roles, CureHire has the resources and experience to get it done.

How Locum Tenens Support Bridges Gaps

Locum tenens — a Latin term for “to hold the place of” — is no longer only for stopgap measures. It’s a strategic staffing tool. CureHire utilizes this model to assist Healthcare organizations in achieving a steady state level of care in the time of:

· Personnel holiday and personal leave of absence
· Recruitment gaps for hard-to-fill roles
· Unexpected patient volume increases
· Transitions between permanent hires

In addition, by delivering licensed and pre-vetted professionals to meet staffing gaps, CureHire helps facilities prevent staff fatigue from excessive overtime hours, reduce workload-to-comfort ratios, and maintain state-mandated staffing levels.

Hospitals can also use locums as a ‘working interview’ to consider for potential full-time placements. It provides a test drive for healthcare providers and clinicians to see if the fit is right before they enter a long-term commitment, and makes short-term gigging a long-term success story.

Roles Covered: Nurses, Allied Health, Physicians

CureHire’s network of talent lies in three primary categories of healthcare:

Nurses: If you need RNs, LPNs, certified nursing assistants, or nurse practitioners, CureHire can fill positions in emergency departments, critical care, long-term care, and more. Relevant, as the backbone of medicine, CureHire guarantees that each placement embodies clinical excellence and compassion.

Allied Health Professionals: From respiratory therapists to radiologic technologists to physical therapists, and all other allied health workers, they are necessary for operational efficiency. CureHire hires a bench of credentialed, driven professionals who can hit the ground running and add value immediately.

Physicians: CureHire places facilities with board-certified physicians across all specialties — including emergency medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and everything in between. Whether you require a locum to provide weekend coverage or a full-time attending physician, the process is efficient and transparent.

All service categories benefit from CureHire's highly vetted professionals, who are the perfect addition to the existing team, not just to meet licensure mandates, but also to integrate seamlessly into the facility.

Credentialing and Compliance

There are few things as important to healthcare staffing as credentialing. One mistake, and the safety of your patient, the integrity of your facility, and your legal status could be compromised.

CureHire’s in-house credentialing team handles:
· Background checks
· License verifications
· Reference validations
· Malpractice history reviews
· Immunization and health screenings
· State and federal compliance documents

This means every pro we send to a facility is prepared to hit the ground running — without any delays or guesswork.

Finally, CureHire stays up-to-date with evolving healthcare laws and state licensing requirements, providing facilities and professionals with confidence in compliance.

Facility Benefits: Retention, Flexibility, Cost Savings

The medical industry constantly battles with the trade-off between cost, quality of care, and hospital staff morale. CureHire’s customized staffing solutions address each and all of the above.

Retention: CureHire reduces turnover by connecting facilities and professionals with similar cultures, communication styles, and care philosophies. Long-term hires tend to stay longer because they feel a sense of belonging from the very first day.

Flexibility: The capacity to expand or reduce staff as necessary helps the facilities remain nimble. Whether it's a surge in flu season or a need to leave coverage, CureHire delivers on-demand staffing.

Cost-efficient: A staffing assistant can be costly, but it can save you money. CureHire alleviates the high costs of recruitment, hiring, training, and overtime. Locum tenens assignments also save time and money lost to shifts that go unfilled or staff who burn out.

CureHire doesn’t force facilities to fit into a one-size-fits-all staffing model. Instead, they receive tailored strategies to support both near-term operations and long-term workforce planning.

Final Thought

Healthcare staff planning isn’t simply an exercise in filling positions – it’s about ensuring a level of care provision, easing the pressure on existing staff, and preparing for what you can anticipate, as well as the unexpected. CureHire understands this deeply.

CureHire offers a comprehensive range of temporary and permanent staffing solutions to help healthcare facilities manage staffing shortages with confidence. Whether you need a travel nurse in 24 hours or permanent staffing support for a new department, CureHire is your trusted partner for every unpredictable twist and turn in healthcare.
