When recruiting timelines fall short and vacancies go unfilled, patient access suffers. Barton Associates connects hospitals, health systems, practices, and dental organizations with qualified locum tenens clinicians faster than traditional hiring, across all 50 states.
Physicians remain the foundation of healthcare delivery, leading patient care across hospitals, health systems, medical groups, and specialty practices. When a physician vacancy opens, the impact is felt immediately, from longer patient wait times and delayed procedures to increased workload for existing providers.

Physician assistants are among the most versatile clinicians in healthcare, moving fluidly across surgical suites, emergency departments, inpatient units, and specialty practices. When a PA vacancy opens, the gap is felt immediately.

HRSA estimates 10,744 additional dentists are needed to close the shortage gap affecting 59 million Americans across 7,054 designated areas.

An anesthesia coverage gap doesn't just create inconvenience — it shuts down ORs, delays procedures,
and costs hospitals revenue by the hour.
There are an estimated 67,700 CRNAs in the United States — about 200 per 100,000 people. That's a thin margin for a provider type that delivers more than 80% of anesthesia care in rural counties and serves as the sole anesthesia provider at roughly one-third of U.S. hospitals. CRNAs safely administer over 58.5 million anesthetics annually in the United States.
The supply pressure isn't easing. Around 12% of CRNAs plan to retire by 2027, and CRNA training programs remain highly competitive, with an average acceptance rate of just 24%. When you lose a CRNA or can't recruit one fast enough the operational consequences are immediate.

Behavioral health demand keeps rising. Psychiatrist supply isn't keeping up.
When a vacancy opens — or wait times stretch — the consequences reach every corner of your organization.
Demand for psychiatric services is projected to grow 16% through 2028 — but the pipeline isn't keeping pace. Psychiatrist shortages affect every care setting: inpatient units run short on coverage, outpatient wait times stretch for months, crisis services strain under volume, and facilities in rural and underserved markets face the steepest gaps.
