[*Becker’s Hospital Review*](https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/strategy/how-to-achieve-short-term-workforce-stability-while-executing-a-long-term-strategy/) recently published an article featuring Medicus and its role in helping healthcare leaders balance immediate staffing needs with long-term workforce planning. The article, titled *“How to Achieve Short-Term Workforce Stability While Executing a Long-Term Strategy,”* explores how Medicus supports health systems in maintaining access to care today while preparing for tomorrow’s physician shortages.

## Highlights from the Becker’s Hospital Review Article

By 2037, the [National Center for Health Workforce Analysis projects a shortfall of more than 187,000 physicians across 31 of 35 specialties](https://bhw.hrsa.gov/data-research/projecting-health-workforce-supply-demand), including [anesthesia](https://medicushcs.com/resources/the-anesthesia-provider-shortage), [obstetrics and gynecology](https://medicushcs.com/resources/insights-into-the-growing-obgyn-shortage), and [radiology](https://medicushcs.com/resources/navigating-the-radiologist-shortage). To meet this challenge, many healthcare organizations are adopting innovative staffing approaches that go beyond traditional models. The Becker's article highlights how [Medicus](https://medicushcs.com/healthcare-employers) is part of this shift, supporting health systems in stabilizing service lines now while also advancing long-term staffing strategies.

### Addressing Workforce Shortages with Interim Staffing Solutions

Industry projections point to continued growth in flexible staffing. According to [Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), locum tenens physician staffing is expected to expand by 5% in 2025 and by another 4% in 2026, making it the fastest-growing area in healthcare staffing](https://www.staffingindustry.com/research/research-reports/americas/us-staffing-industry-forecast-september-2025-update).

While short-term locum coverage addresses immediate needs, it does not always solve broader challenges such as covering specialties with multiple FTE gaps, transitioning from outsourced to employed models, or advancing long-term workforce initiatives. Recognizing this, Medicus created the [Medicus Transition Program, a project-based interim healthcare staffing solution that aligns interim healthcare staffing with organizational workforce strategies](https://medicushcs.com/transition-program).

### Stabilizing Service Lines Through the [Medicus Transition Program](https://medicushcs.com/transition-program)

For years, the Medicus Transition Program has enabled health systems to navigate staffing disruptions, initiatives, and evolving workforce demands. The *Becker’s Hospital Review* article shared examples of how organizations have used the program to preserve continuity of care while advancing long-term staffing goals, including:

- [Rebuilding OB Hospitalist Coverage:](https://medicushcs.com/resources/rebuilding-ob-hospitalist-coverage-how-medicus-helped-an-academic-hospital-stabilize-services-in-30-days) Maintaining continuity of care during staffing model shifts.
- [Reducing a 40,000-Radiology Case Backlog:](https://medicushcs.com/resources/reducing-a-40000-case-backlog-to-restore-radiology-access) Supporting outsourced groups when care demands spike.
- [Revitalizing Pediatric Anesthesia Care:](https://medicushcs.com/resources/revitalizing-pediatric-anesthesia-care-the-medicus-transition-programs-impact-on-a-florida-childrens-hospital) Managing surges in patient volumes and provider turnover. **

By blending immediate interim support with long-term workforce strategies, the Medicus Transition Program helps achieve clinical workforce stabilization today while preparing for the demands of tomorrow.
