Healthcare organizations cannot build the workforce of the future by relying on physicians alone.

As demand for care continues to grow, organizations need to think differently about how their clinical teams are structured.

Nurse practitioners and physician assistants can play a critical role in expanding access, supporting physicians, and building more flexible care models. But integrating APPs effectively takes more than simply adding another position to the org chart.

It requires a clear understanding of where APPs can create the most value, how their roles fit within the care team, and what the organization needs from its workforce long term.

At Relode, we believe the strongest workforce strategies start with the right team design — then find the right people to bring it to life.

Is your organization thinking strategically about the role APPs will play in your workforce?

Locum tenens isn’t only for last-minute staffing gaps.

For healthcare organizations, it can be a strategic tool for navigating change, managing demand, and making smarter workforce decisions.

Here are 5 situations where it can help:
1. Launching a new service line
- Bring in experienced clinicians while you build your permanent team.

2. Managing seasonal demand
- Add coverage when patient volume increases without overbuilding your full-time workforce.

3. Bridging a permanent search
- Keep care moving while you recruit and onboard the right long-term provider.

4. Supporting organizational change
- Maintain clinical coverage during leadership transitions, expansions, or operational changes.

5. Testing workforce needs
- Evaluate demand for a role or service before making a permanent commitment.

The bigger idea: Locum tenens doesn’t have to be a reaction to a staffing problem. Used intentionally, it can be part of a long-term workforce strategy.

For years, locum tenens staffing has often been viewed as the solution you call when something has already gone wrong: a physician resigns unexpectedly, a vacancy remains open, or a department suddenly needs coverage.

Scaling virtual care is not just a technology challenge. It is a workforce challenge.

Organizations can invest in the right platform, but the program only works when the people behind it are set up for success.

That means thinking through how you will recruit the right clinicians, define their roles, credential them efficiently, and build a staffing model that can grow with demand.

Virtual care requires a different approach to workforce planning. The clinical model, provider experience, and operational strategy all have to work together.

At Relode, we believe the workforce strategy should be part of the virtual care conversation from the beginning — not something you solve after the technology is in place.

What is the biggest workforce challenge your organization is facing as virtual care grows?

In hospice care, the credential gets someone in the room. Emotional range is what keeps patients safe.The wrong hire doesn't flame out on day one. They quietly add to their caseload, pull back from families, and leave within a year.

Research across 2,298 clinicians found higher emotional intelligence directly linked to lower burnout.

We broke down a 4-part hiring framework for hospice teams — screening for emotional range, naming the real demands of the role, aligning comp before the search opens, and recruiting through relationships instead of job boards.
