Kimedics, LLC is one of LocumTenens.com families of companies. Kimedics is building workforce solutions for healthcare staffing to help operations teams and clinicians spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on patient care. With the growing clinician shortage, medical groups have to rely on collaboration with their clinician networks and staffing partner organizations to fill their schedule efficiently - and without the right tool this can get incredibly complicated and expensive fast. We help them organize and optimize their practice staffing and scheduling operations!

Our technology was founded in March 2018 by an operator, who saw first hand how critical, in healthcare especially, collaboration is needed to efficiently deliver great care. There was no central source of truth that left her feeling overwhelmed managing tons of standing calls, endless spreadsheets, constantly checking for errors due to disparate teams and systems, and flying blind without analytics and visibility to plan. She knew there had to be a better way, and the solution needed to be specifically tailored to healthcare and advance practice clinicians.
