Physician Burnout and the Growing Clinician Shortage
The Fractional Model: A Gamechanger for Surgical Coverage
Traditional physician coverage models used by hospitals across the country—typically built around full-time, permanent employment—are proving increasingly inadequate in today’s healthcare environment. We’re no longer living in a time where the supply of doctors in the U.S. is enough to meet patient needs, and they can easily commit to long-term positions in one location.
The old staffing models don’t work. Doctors are burning out, patients are leaving hospital systems because they cannot find care close to home, and yet hospitals’ labor costs still account for around 60% of their budgets. Is there any way out of this unsustainable pattern?
This is why the fractional model for surgical coverage is gaining traction.

Hospitals can think outside the usual binary of either full time staff or temporary locum tenens physicians by adopting a flexible, cost-effective fractional surgeon staffing model.
These are the core components of fractional surgeon coverage:
Read our new whitepaper, “The Fractional Model: A Gamechanger for Surgical Coverage,” to learn how you can use the fractional model to improve patient care, keep revenue local, and staff your hospital with the best surgical talent at the top of their game.
