Your healthcare system shouldn't depend on any single physician to survive.
We build programs with the infrastructure to outlast transitions, absorb setbacks, and grow over time. Because lasting access isn't a placement.
Not just coverage. A system.
Most hospitals arrive here having already tried everything.
Misaligned expectations
Physicians who show up expecting one thing and find another
Built around one person
One resignation away from starting over
Built to Fill, Not to Last
Short-term placements that end before they ever become real coverage
Cycled through staffing agencies
Tried two, three, four different locums firms hoping the next one would be different. None of them were.
Settled for "good enough"
Lowered the bar just to get someone in the door. Paid for it in quality, culture issues, and eventually another vacancy
No cultural fit
A competent physician your team does not trust or want back
What we do differently
We will work with you to develop an access-driven staffing model and then build a team of high-quality physicians who fit your culture to implement the plan hand in hand with your staff.
Physician-led from day one
Our physician-led medical operations group personally evaluates every physician we place. The standard: your team should not be able to tell our physicians are independent contractors. Not competent. Not adequate. Indistinguishable.
We own the full scope
Recruitment. Credentialing. Scheduling. Clinical oversight. Conflict resolution. Travel. Invoicing. One partner accountable for all of it. No fragment of this falls to your staff.
We stay invested
Monthly clinical oversight check-ins. Quarterly program reviews. 24-hour response commitment. Most of our relationships span multiple years and expand into additional specialties. We are not here to fill a gap. We are here to build something that lasts.
Built for the long run
The longer we work together, the stronger your program becomes. We know your culture, we refine every placement, and we expand coverage strategically. Access that improves year over year, not just quarter to quarter.
This isn't locum tenens.
The staffing industry sells speed, scale, and price.
We sell what actually keeps a program running.
What our Partners Say
"Preferred Solutions has delivered value throughout the entire enterprise. Their surgeons are well-trained and excellent team players. Their leadership is tireless in their support of a successful program. Our experience has been so positive that we are now engaging them in other surgical and procedural specialties."
They expanded from vascular surgery into multiple specialty service lines following their initial engagement with Preferred Solutions.
"We needed expert vascular surgeons with a good skill set in open and endovascular care along with personalities that gave confidence to our Medical Center. Preferred Solutions delivered a great vascular package for our hospital that positioned us for success while we built our program around their service."
They used Preferred Solutions to launch and establish their vascular program, building the foundation for a self-sustaining service line.
From Urgent Coverage Gaps to a Sustainable Care Model in 90 Days
Strategic assessment
We start by understanding your challenges:
- Service-line analysis identifies revenue leakage and program gaps
- Cultural assessment determines what physician personalities will thrive
- Workflow review uncovers operational inefficiencies
- Market data shows patient referral patterns and opportunity
You get external validation and data your internal team can't access.
Physician selection
Our physician-led medical operations group personally interviews every candidate for clinical skill and cultural fit.
- Evaluation is physician-led, not recruiter-driven
- Assessment of teamwork, communication, and professionalism
- 3-4 hand-selected candidates presented (not 10 random CVs)
- Cultural matching based on your facility's specific needs
Every recommendation is matched to your facility's specific clinical and cultural needs.
Full operational support
We handle everything your internal team lacks infrastructure to manage:
- Credentialing - Full department functions including license renewals, privileging, board certifications, compliance, and vaccination tracking
- Scheduling - Dynamic workforce optimization based on patient demand and KPIs. We schedule 5-6 months in advance and handle all coordination.
- Medical Operations - Direct clinical oversight, real-time support, best-practice templates, and outcomes-based performance monitoring
- Compliance & Quality - Ongoing CME management, outcomes tracking, and accreditation support
- Consolidated Billing - Single invoice with detailed accounting. Transparent reporting minimizes admin workload.
Your clinic managers get their time back. Your program runs smoothly.
Program development
We help you build sustainable systems:
- Performance metrics tracking shows program growth
- Workflow optimization improves efficiency
- Strategic planning positions you to attract permanent hires
- Continuous improvement based on outcomes data
You move from reactive staffing to a thriving program.
Most hospitals don't know what traditional staffing is actually costing them.
WHAT’S INSIDE
✓ True cost of a failed physician search
✓ What fragmented vendors leave unaccounted
✓ Program stability vs. shift coverage, side by side
✓The financial case for a single program partner
Fair Market Value Is Not a Compliance Box.
It Is a Strategic Asset.
Beyond the Survey Data
Call coverage demands, patient acuity, and local recruitment dynamics all shape what competitive compensation actually looks like. National averages rarely capture that.
Compliance Without Vulnerability
FMV should not be the tool someone uses against you in a rate negotiation. A well-built compensation framework is one you can defend from a position of confidence.
Clinical Insight Meets Operational Data
We bring both together so hospitals can build compensation structures that attract the right physicians and hold up to regulatory scrutiny.
Built for Program Stability
Compensation that reflects clinical reality keeps physicians engaged and programs performing. FMV analysis is a long-term program management tool, not a one-time compliance check.
Common Questions
Traditional staffing firms match availability to openings. We build programs.
Before we place anyone, we analyze your market, assess your facility, and understand what it takes to succeed in your specific environment. Every physician we place has been personally evaluated by Dr. Arthurs for clinical competency and cultural fit. We then stay involved monthly with oversight, check-ins, and program development. Most staffing firms disappear after placement. We stay.
Dr. Arthurs responds within 24 hours. We intervene directly, work through the issue with the facility and the physician, and resolve it before replacement becomes the default.
In over ten years we have maintained a 100% program success rate. When a transition is ultimately necessary, we manage the coverage bridge so your program never experiences a gap.
When hospitals calculate the true cost of internal specialty recruiting, including failed search cycles that can span years, candidate visit costs, and the ongoing administrative burden on your staff, our model typically compares favorably.
We offer flexible structures including hourly, PRN, and full-time equivalent models within fair market value frameworks. The right starting point is a conversation about your specific situation.
