Healthcare executive Hazel Kudera possesses more than a decade of experience recruiting medical professionals. Hazel Kudera presides over NYC Healthcare Staffing, which places qualified nurses and therapists in permanent, temporary, and per-diem positions.
Per-diem medical employees are hired on a day-by-day basis. They are commonly used at short notice to cover another employee’s absence or to increase staff numbers during a sudden patient influx. Per-diem contracts do not usually have a set number of work hours per week. However, staffing agencies can coordinate with medical facilities to organize per-diem staffing to cover planned time-off for full-time employees.
In addition to providing medical facilities with reliable access to vetted medical professionals, per-diem arrangements can also help healthcare centers quickly find staff with specialized skills. For example, hospitals can request nurses with second language skills to communicate with patients. Per-diem contracts can also be used to retain the services of specialists such as cardiologists and brain surgeons.
