Skilled Healthlance talent helps practices unlock their potential by solving complex cases, getting more work done, and completing treatment faster.
Access to talent from freshers to experienced
Talented Healthlancers offer the expertise that practices can tap into with ease. If your practice requires a specific skill set for a case, you can identify a Healthlancer who has spent years perfecting that same craft. The more experienced a Healthlancer is, the more value they can bring to your patient & difficult cases. The Practice can benefit from the Healthlancer’s experience without adding a permanent position to their payroll.
Cost-effectiveness
Traditional full-time employees are expensive. In addition to paying their salary, Clinic/Hospital owners are responsible for training costs, benefits, health insurance, paid time-off, and payroll taxes. In contrast, booking a Healthlancer allows your practice to eliminate many of these overhead costs. Healthlancers don’t require a dedicated workspace in your office or training. Hiring a Healthlancer allows a practice to reduce costs without sacrificing work output.
Better quality work
Healthlancer can deliver consistently high-quality work due to their range of experience. Before booking them, you’ll have an opportunity to evaluate their past work portfolio, check out reviews from Dr clients, and interview them to make sure they are the right fit. By completing your case, healthlancers build their reputation, expand their portfolio, and increase their chance of future employment. They thrive on repeat clients and referrals.
Diversity
Healthlancers make up a diverse population of workers — from their varying educational backgrounds, differing working styles, and more. As such, Healthlancers can bring a new perspective to your work. Moreover, their skill sets are just as diverse. Even for the most obscure case or niches, there’s probably a Healthlancer out there who has a specialist skill ideal for the case. You even have the option to search for manpower nationally. Diversity helps increase the flow of ideas and often leads to better practice solutions.
Expand to Multispecialitypractice
Clinics are usually restricted to the niche in which their practice operates. By opening the opportunity to Healthlancers, practices can access a larger talent pool from around them & more. This way also allows them to find the specific talent, qualifications, and skills they require without settling for the best available person in their immediate area. Plus, with a digital platform like Healthlancing.com, it’s easier than ever to find and book talented Healthlancers.
Schedule flexibility
One great benefit of Healthlancers is that they’re available to be booked 24/7. That means a Healthlancer is there to help you resolve even last-minute emergencies. For example, a patient may require treatment specifically on Sunday due to an accident or emergency, or travel. If you have to wait until Monday morning for your full-time employee to come back to work, you could be losing out on a full weekend’s worth of potential time. A conventional employee may clock out and go home at a fixed time, but Healthlancers often have a more flexible work schedule that can revolve around a practice’s needs.
