THE PROBLEM

What healthcare organizations
actually need from locum staffing.

Coverage gaps don’t just come from a lack of clinicians. They come from a system that breaks down after the match. The real problem is what comes next.

  • Submittals that look good on paper but miss the clinical fit
  • Credentialing processes that can’t keep pace with patient demand
  • Fragmented handoffs where accountability disappears across vendors and teams
  • Billing that fails to reflect the complexity and reality of your care environment

The result is delays, rework, and ultimately, care that doesn’t move as fast as it should.

MATCHING ENGINE - ATLAS ™

How our matching engine is different.

A database can tell you who’s available. Atlas tells you who’s the right fit. It evaluates each clinician against your specific care environment considering clinical scope, practice setting, location and licensing, and real-world responsiveness. The result: fewer mismatches and a faster path to confirmed coverage.

Atlas evaluates:

  • Specialty and clinical scope
  • Practice setting
  • Geographic and licensing alignment
  • Availability and responsiveness

CREDENTIALING, POWERED BY AXUALL

Trusted verification at the speed of care.

Barton’s partnership with Axuall transforms credentialing from a manual process into a digitally verified system of record. Credentials aren’t just filled in, they’re authenticated in real time through a secure clinician wallet.

The result is faster onboarding, greater accuracy, and a level of trust manual processes can’t match.

  • Digitally verified credentials, not self-reported data
  • Portable clinician profiles that move across care settings
  • Real-time verification in seconds, not days
  • Up to 83% reduction in credentialing time
  • Less administrative burden, fewer errors

BILLING, POWERED BY ADVANCED Al

Billing without the disputes and delays.

Locum invoices can be complicated. Different settings, different rates, different documentation requirements. Most billing systems don’t account for that – leading to disputes, delays, and administrative drag.

Barton’s AI-powered approach standardizes billing logic using insights from 10,000+ real locum invoices across hospitals, clinics, and practices.
