The cost comparison between Access TeleCare teleHospitalists and onsite staffing depends on the hospital’s census, coverage gaps, recruitment market, use of locums, overtime costs, and desired coverage model.
For many hospitals, Access TeleCare’s teleHospitalist program can be a cost-effective alternative to full-time onsite recruitment or repeated locums coverage, especially for nights, on-call shifts, surge support, and hard-to-fill schedules. The financial value can also extend beyond staffing cost avoidance by helping hospitals admit more patients, reduce transfers, improve throughput, and retain inpatient revenue.
