Staffing Gaps Put Patient Care at Risk
Nevada Urban Indians, Inc. (NUI) faced several challenges when looking for a nurse practitioner.
Without an in-house recruiting team, the clinic didn’t know where to start looking for providers. Additionally, government policy changes, funding holds, and standard credentialing requirements further complicated the search.
These challenges made it increasingly difficult to maintain consistent access to primary care for the communities they serve. Unsure of what the future would bring, NUI turned to locum tenens to restore access to care.
