Many hospitalist programs struggle to find consistent and reliable nighttime coverage, especially for smaller, rural areas and critical access hospitals. Often these gaps in coverage lead to relying on Locum providers at a significant cost. Depending on the current volume or staffing model, adding a Tele-Hospitalist/Tele-Nocturnist can be both a reliable alternative and cost-effective strategy. For example, adding a tele-nocturnist for cross-coverage or admissions in place of recruiting for an additional provider can be both a short and long-term budget solution. A Tele-Nocturnist service is especially beneficial for programs that do not have an in-house provider at night.
