With D&Y, every placement is backed by dedicated recruiting, credentialing, scheduling, travel, and accounting teams. We take the time to understand your facility's needs, find clinicians who fit, and coordinate the details that make coverage successful. You gain a staffing partner who stays involved long after the first shift.
Our recruiters look at both clinical qualifications and cultural fit. We learn about your practice environment, coverage needs, and expectations, then identify and vet clinicians who align with them. This personalized approach helps you bring in providers who can work effectively with your team and support your patients.
D&Y staffs more than 30 specialties and works with healthcare organizations nationwide, from small hospitals to major health systems. With nearly 40 years of experience and a database of 650,000 provider profiles, we bring broad recruiting reach and experience to your search while tailoring our approach to your facility.
Our recruiting and support teams coordinate the steps needed to move a placement forward. Recruiters identify qualified candidates while credentialing, scheduling, and travel teams help address requirements and logistics. This coordinated approach helps reduce avoidable delays and keeps your coverage needs moving toward a workable start date.
We help you scale your workforce around your coverage goals. Our team works with you to understand changing needs, identify appropriate clinicians, and coordinate availability and shifts. You have a partner who can help you adjust coverage as your facility's demands evolve.
Our dedicated credentialing team manages licensing, privileging, compliance requirements, and supporting documentation in coordination with your facility and the clinician. Their experience helps move the clearance process forward and reduces the administrative work your team has to coordinate.
In addition to credentialing support, we conduct monthly sanction screenings on all providers. These screenings help identify practitioners who may be excluded or sanctioned and support your organization's efforts to maintain compliance with federal and state requirements. It is an ongoing layer of oversight that continues beyond the initial placement.
Our scheduling team coordinates provider availability, shift alignment, and ongoing communication to help prevent gaps and conflicts. Our experienced travel team handles flights, lodging, and transportation. Together, they manage the logistics that help clinicians arrive prepared and ready to work.
Our travel team provides a detailed travel cost summary upfront, giving you visibility into anticipated expenses before coverage begins. We coordinate cost-effective arrangements around the clinician's needs and your facility's assignment. That combination of hands-on coordination and cost transparency helps you plan your staffing budget with greater confidence.
Yes. We work with your team to build coverage around the transition you are managing. In one hospital medicine engagement, D&Y helped a facility secure privileges for five physicians, establish consistent weekday coverage, and implement a customized nighttime call model while it finalized a physician staffing contract. Our recruiting, credentialing, and scheduling support helped the facility maintain coverage through that transition.
Our involvement continues throughout the assignment. Scheduling manages ongoing coordination, credentialing supports compliance needs, travel handles logistics, and accounting supports accurate, timely billing and payment processing. When questions or changes arise, you have an established team to help address them.
Tell us about your specialty, coverage goals, timeline, and practice environment. We will use those details to begin identifying suitable clinicians and coordinating the steps toward coverage. From the first conversation, our focus is on understanding what your facility needs and building a partnership around it.
