Responsiveness is central to any successful relationship. That is especially true when it comes to healthcare. Whether it’s a physician addressing a patient’s concerns or medical staff responding to a request from another department, everyone must follow through for the system to function. For the medical staffing industry, responsiveness means ensuring the locum provider never feels ignored when they have a question or concern.
