What is a Staffing Network?

Navigating Healthcare Excellence through our Staffing Network

Welcome to our dynamic healthcare staffing network, where our primary mission is to seamlessly connect clinicians with the vital support they need to deliver exceptional care. As a clinician working within our network, it's essential to understand the distinct roles and responsibilities to ensure a streamlined and efficient healthcare ecosystem.

For the most part, seeing patients through Lifespan's network will be similar to seeing patients directly with an agency.  However, there are some things to keep in mind.  

Urgent Concerns and Medical Decisions

While the day-to-day care and decisions that you make as a licensed clinician will remain unchanged, at times you may wish to receive the support or coordinated care of a clinicial team.  This should go through the home health agency directly as Lifespan is not a healthcare provider.  Clinicians are encouraged to reach out directly to home health agencies for urgent concerns, such as vital signs outside of parameters or critical medical decisions. This ensures a swift and targeted response to urgent clinical needs.  The agency of record is listed both on the Lifespan Therapy app as well as the patient's EMR record.  

Agency Affiliation

When contacting patients to schedule, it is importnat to remember that Lifespan is not the medical provider for these patients -- they are still under their agency of record.  During these instances, it is crucial for clinicians to clearly identify themselves as representatives of the specific agency they are affiliated with.  This prevents confusion and ensures the patient does not incorrectly believe you to be associated with a different home health agency. The agency of record is listed both on the Lifespan Therapy app as well as the patient's EMR record.  

Supportive Services and Network Assistance

So if the care provided to patients is largely the same, why work with Lifespan? Our staffing network is dedicated to providing comprehensive support beyond urgent clinical matters. We offer a range of services, including consulting, coverage coordination in case of clinician unavailability due to illness or travel, and assistance with various administrative functions. From reaching patients effectively to resolving conflicts, our network is committed to facilitating a smooth and efficient workflow for clinicians.

Contract Acquisition for Optimal Coverage:

At the core of our mission is the goal to secure contracts that empower clinicians to serve patients within their designated coverage areas. By fostering partnerships with healthcare agencies, our network aims to create opportunities for clinicians to focus on delivering high-quality care without the burden of administrative intricacies.
