Transform Your Practice With a Global Workforce

As healthcare organizations strive to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve patient care, remote medical staffing has emerged as a viable solution. Virtual technologies have revolutionized the healthcare industry, providing considerable benefits for healthcare organizations, such as:
1. Reduced Overhead Expenses
One of the most significant advantages remote staffing brings to your practice is reducing overhead expenses. A virtual medical staff saves you money on training, supervision, office space, utilities, equipment, and supplies.
2. Lower Labor Costs
Remote staffing allows you to tap into a global talent pool, which often means lower payroll and benefits costs. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, private sector employers spend an average of $10.88 per hour per employee on benefits alone. That accounts for 29.2% of the total hourly costs of hiring an on-site employee.
Since remote employees aren’t subject to your local wage laws, you can employ highly skilled professionals at lower labor costs compared to hiring on-site staff locally.
3. Extended Geographic Reach
Virtual medical staffing eliminates geographical limitations, enabling healthcare organizations to access talent globally. This expanded reach allows you to leverage trained, qualified staff who are committed to your practice you wouldn’t have found in your locality.
4. Improved Scalability
Remote staffing provides your practice with tremendous scalability potential. During peak periods of sudden surges in patient volume, virtual medical assistants and admin staff can quickly fill in vacant positions to meet your business needs.
Virtual staffing agencies like DrCatalyst respond to your most urgent staffing requirements and take the burden off your shoulders to source the qualified talent for your practice.
5. Realigned Focus Towards Patient Care
Overworked healthcare workers are a common sight in many practices across the country. According to the latest data, 57% of healthcare workers worry about suffering from burnout due to repetitive admin tasks.
With virtual staffing, however, you can delegate documentation and other admin work to your remote staff and realign your on-site staff’s focus back to patient care. Not only does virtual staffing help spread the workload, it also improves your staff’s productivity and work-life balance, consequently increasing on-site employee satisfaction.
