Aledade’s Practice Health Recruiting Solution helps primary care practices hire physicians, advanced practice providers and other staff
Bethesda, MD – Aledade, the nation’s largest network of independent primary care, has launched a new service to accelerate practices’ ability to hire physicians, advanced practice providers and new staff, addressing the ongoing nationwide workforce challenges that primary care practices encounter.
Aledade’s Practice Health Recruiting Solution streamlines the hiring process – from initial opportunity intake to candidate sourcing and vetting – of both clinical and non-clinical talent and unburdens practices from the problems that accompany the attracting of staff.
“This offering directly responds to the feedback we hear from our practices that recruiting physicians, clinical and other staff remains one of their ongoing challenges,” said Aaron McKethan, CEO of Aledade Plus. “Through our capabilities to identify, engage and recommend the most promising job candidates, our recruiting solution supports primary care practices so they can focus less on administration and more on what they do best – delivering high quality care.”
According to the National Center for Health Workforce Analysis (NCHWA), which informs public and private decision makers on health workforce issues, an expansion in the number of primary care clinicians is crucial to improved health outcomes and health equity in the United States. The NCHWA projects a shortage of 68,020 full-time equivalent primary care physicians by 2036, and recommends prioritizing primary care in order to improve quality care.
In addition, a recent report found that 38% of health care companies lack dedicated recruiting and sourcing teams while 58% of those companies identify their greatest burden as the lack of recruiting expertise. These shortfalls delay primary care practices from hiring clinicians and non-clinical professionals.
Aledade’s Practice Health Recruiting Solution includes:
- Evaluation of candidates’ qualifications, negotiating and screening
- Guidance to hiring managers on how to attract and retain top clinical and non-clinical talent
- Job postings and facilitation of the interview process
