Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Practically every medical practice finds itself short-staffed at one time or another. In some cases, a temporary employee is all that is needed to keep the practice running smoothly. Because of this, many temporary employment agencies today gear themselves specifically to filling both administrative and clinical positions in medical practices. This articles explores when and how to hire a temporary employee. It suggests strategies for preparing for the temporary employee's arrival, orienting the employee to the practice and assigned tasks, and evaluating the temporary worker's performance. In addition, this article offers ideas about working well with temporary employment agencies, as well as likely policies one would encounter when trying to hire a temporary employee permanently.
