The Delta Companies Significantly Expands Locum Tenens Provider Network

DALLAS, May 30, 2017 -- The Delta Companies (TDC), a leading staffing firm for healthcare professionals nationwide, announced that Delta Locum Tenens (DLT) has significantly expanded the number of screened providers available for locum’s placement by adding 579 new hospitalists to its network. As of today, DLT has a robust database of 12,154 screened hospitalist providers.

The successful additions come after DLT recruiters attended Hospital Medicine 2017, the annual conference held by the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM). The event, which took place May 1-4, is widely known to be the largest gathering of hospital medicine professionals in the United States.

Today, there are more than 52,000 practicing hospitalists, and the demand continues to grow. Hospitalist medicine has been the no. 1 specialty placed by DLT for eight consecutive years including a staggering 68 percent year-over-year growth in pediatric hospitalist placements. These figures support and reinforce the growing need for locum tenens professionals and have been a key driver for DLT to proactively attend events like SHM to recruit these valued healthcare providers.

“I have worked with Delta Locum Tenens for over 5 years and also have worked with other locum companies,” said Edward R., a current DLT Internal Medicine/Hospitalist provider. “I have found that Delta (Locum Tenens) is easy to talk to, returns calls quickly and resolves any issues quickly and appropriately and the best part is that they pay you quickly.”

DLT is recognized as the eighth largest staffing firm nationwide by Staffing Industry Analysts and has been honored with the Best of Staffing® Award for seven consecutive years. DLT places locum physicians and advanced practitioners with A++ malpractice coverage for all providers. With over 30% of DLT’s business derived from hospitalists, participation in industry conferences like SHM is imperative.
