Health Systems Are Seeing an Increased Need for Locum Contracts Following a Challenging Year, Burnout Driven by COVID-19

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 22, 2021 – Healthcare technology company Ludi, Inc. announced the launch of DocTime Locum, a solution for health systems to manage locum tenens contracts. DocTime Locum will help healthcare organizations optimize their locum tenens strategy, which has become more of a priority as physicians and other clinicians are experiencing burnout after a challenging year dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Openings at hospitals means there is a need for locum tenens. And the strategy around centralizing your locum contractors and utilization patterns is crucial to managing staffing patterns and understanding costs, which is where DocTime Locum comes in,” said Gail Peace, Founder and CEO of Ludi, Inc. “With DocTime Locum, hospitals will have greater visibility into the administration of these contracts, which can be a burden for provider organizations, only exasperated by COVID-19.”

DocTime Locum ensures each payment is within scope of the specific contract requirements and each shift is paid only once. Automated dashboards provide the ability to standardize and create efficiencies throughout the hospital system.

“Ludi’s technology provides a layer of assurance that you are getting what you pay for from your locum providers,” said Peace.

DocTime Locum is the latest innovation and product launch in Ludi’s DocTime^® Suite. Ludi’s flagship product DocTime^® Log is the brainchild of Ludi Founder and CEO Gail Peace. Gail developed DocTime Log after working for many years as a health system executive, where she recognized the need to modernize the way hospitals pay their medical teams based on their contracts. Ludi has helped hundreds of hospitals and health systems nationwide save millions of dollars, enhance compliance efforts and build physician satisfaction and engagement.
