Closing staffing gaps,
Intelligently
The Hospitalist Network (THN) is a physician-led company solving the structural staffing crisis in hospital medicine. We built the External Float Pool (XFP), a curated, nationwide network of full-time traveler hospitalists, and the intelligent platform that powers it.
An extension of your team, not another vendor.
For hospitals, that means greater program stability and a lower true cost of turnover. For physicians, it means a flexible career with predictable work, full operational support, and the strength of a network behind every assignment.
Physician-led
Clinical leadership from physicians with direct experience building and running hospitalist programs.
Integrated partner
Advisory, technology, and coverage combined in one model that functions as a true extension of your team.
Real support
Credentialing, licensing, malpractice, and reliable coverage support handled from Day 1.
Hospitals face 20% hospitalist turnover and fragile coverage. In-house float pools and traditional locums treat the symptoms, not the system.
Hospitalists know the other side: shift hunting, unpredictable income, repeated credentialing, and working across multiple agencies.
The Hospitalist Network was built to solve both at once.
The External Float Pool is a coordinated network of travel hospitalists built for stability, predictable blocks, consistent volume, and real flexibility. We reduce the administrative burden for physicians and hospitals while our platform delivers intelligence that strengthens programs and careers.
- Programs get stability from Day 1.
- Traveler hospitalists maintain flexibility and work-life balance.
- Built for mutual benefit.
