(PRWEB) February 25, 2004--Fastest Growing Physician Placement Firm Creates
New Company Dallas, Tex. Jan. 20, 2004.
Delta Medical Consulting, one of
the largest physician placement firms in the nation is announcing it’s newly
created subsidiary, which will provide temporary physician placement services to
hospitals and clinics. The new company is called Delta Locum Tenens. Locum
Tenens is a Latin phrase meaning “holding a place” and is the common medical
industry term referring to temporary physicians. Delta Locum Tenens has already
begun a staged rollout of temporary placement services including M.D. and D.O.
Radiologists, Anesthesiologists and C.R.N.A.’s (Certified Registered Nurse
Anesthetists). Initially Delta Locum Tenens will offer service in five states;
Texas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. Later in 2004 Delta Locum Tenens
plans to expand into other states and provide temporary placement services in
additional medical specialties like family practice and occupational
medicine.
Delta Medical Consulting, the parent company of Delta Locum
Tenens, was recently named by the Dallas Business Journal as the 17th Fastest
Growing Small Business in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas metro area. Jeff Bowling,
CEO of Delta Medical Consulting is quoted, “We’ve experienced double-digit
growth each of the seven years we’ve been in the permanent physician placement
industry. And our original strategy was to stay exclusively focused on the
placement of permanent physicians for hospitals and communities that couldn’t
find good physicians on their own. But the ever-increasing demand for temporary
physicians from our existing client base created the impetus to spin off a
locums company.”
Sherri Carlton, Director of Delta Locums Tenens, and
previously with a Houston-based locums company will head the new firm’s
temporary placement services. Carlton says that the firm chose to roll out
Radiology and Anesthesia services first because hospitals have the most
frequent needs for temporary physicians in those specialties. According to
Carlton, “If a hospital is missing its Radiologist due to illness or vacation
then diagnostic evaluations can’t be completed and new patients can’t be
correctly treated. And without an Anesthesiologist present virtually all
surgeries must be postponed.” Surgical procedures are a hospital’s primary
source of revenue and therefore a Radiologist and an Anesthesiologist must
always be available. That’s where a locums firm comes in. Delta Locum Tenens has
a stable of certified physicians who are available on short notice to travel to
the facilities in need and fill in the gaps.
Delta Locum Tenens along
with its parent company Delta Medical Consulting will relocate their
headquarters in early May 2004 to the Millennium Center in Las Colinas, Texas.
