President Barack Obama Notes Onyx M.D. Locum Tenens Client in Recent Speech

“We have long known that some places like the Intermountain Health Care in Utah or the Geisinger Health System in rural Pennsylvania offer high quality care that cost below average.  So the commission can help encourage the adoption of these common sense best practices by doctors and medical professionals throughout the system.  Everything from reducing hospital infection rates to encouraging better coordination between teams of doctors.”

For more than four years, the Geisinger Health System has been a client for the physician staffing company, Onyx M.D.  Like every health system, hospital, or facility, temporary physicians are needed to cover absent physicians due to circumstances such as vacation, family leave, continuing medical education, maternity leave, etc.  Onyx M.D. has been making certain that these absences are filled at Geisinger to ensure the continuity and quality of care for the patients.  Onyx M.D. has been preventing lost revenue for the Geisinger Health System and maintaining the company’s strong reputation as a leader in transforming health care.

In fact, Geisinger is a perfect example of a company that uses the locum-to-perm “90-day-test-drive”.  Onyx M.D. has placed a few physicians at Geisinger for 90 days to see if each position was the right “cultural” and “skills” fit.  In the end, it was a good match and the physicians now work at Geisinger permanently.

President Obama praises the Geisinger Health System because it is one of the few in the country that offers high-quality care at costs well below average.  Simply put, Geisinger offers better care, less pay.  Onyx M.D. prides itself on the quality of physicians they provide.  By providing quality physicians for Geisinger, Onyx M.D. has played an integral role in providing this “high-quality care” and paving the way for other facilities to follow on the road to health care reform.
