Rural hospitals are under enormous pressure to maintain coverage while controlling costs and maintaining continuity of care.
Our new research brief, developed in collaboration with the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, takes a closer look at how staffing models can evolve to better support rural healthcare systems.
Inside the report, we explore:
• The hidden costs of traditional locum staffing
• Why flexibility and continuity are both essential
• Real-world examples of alternative staffing approaches
If you’re involved in rural healthcare leadership, operations, or workforce planning, this research offers practical insights worth exploring.
