Who We Serve
Physicians Staffing Solutions partners with hospitals, health systems, and outpatient facilities seeking dependable pulmonology coverage and respiratory specialist support. Our services are designed for organizations managing provider shortages, expanding pulmonary programs, supporting rural communities, or strengthening continuity of care across inpatient and outpatient settings.
Flexible Pulmonology Coverage Models
We offer both on-site pulmonology staffing and tele-pulmonology consultation to help hospitals build the right level of respiratory coverage for their patients and care teams. Whether your facility requires full-time physician placement, temporary coverage support, or virtual specialist access, our solutions are tailored to fit your operational and clinical needs.

Respiratory Conditions We Support
Our pulmonologists provide care for a wide range of respiratory and pulmonary conditions, including COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, acute respiratory failure, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, pleural disease, lung cancer evaluation, and post-COVID pulmonary complications. Every placement is aligned to the patient populations and care environments each hospital serves.
ICU Environments We Cover
Intensive care units are not uniform. A medical ICU managing respiratory failure and septic shock operates differently from a cardiac ICU managing post-MI cardiogenic shock, and both differ from a neurological ICU monitoring ICP in a patient with a traumatic brain injury. Physicians Staffing Solutions evaluates each provider's experience by ICU environment — and matches accordingly.
High-acuity medicine
Medical ICU (MICU)
- Sepsis and septic shock management
- Acute respiratory failure and ARDS
- Multi-organ dysfunction
- Acute liver failure and GI hemorrhage
- Overdose and toxicological emergencies
- Complex infectious disease presentations
- Diabetic ketoacidosis and metabolic crises
Post-operative critical care
Surgical ICU (SICU)
- Post-operative hemodynamic instability
- Surgical complication recognition and management
- Damage control resuscitation
- Abdominal compartment syndrome
- Anastomotic leak and septic complications
- Wound and infection management
- Perioperative fluid and electrolyte optimization
Cardiovascular critical care
Cardiac ICU (CICU)
- Acute MI and cardiogenic shock
- Post-cardiac arrest targeted temperature management
- Mechanical circulatory support (IABP, Impella)
- Complex arrhythmia management
- Acute decompensated heart failure
- Post-cardiac surgery critical care
- Hypertensive emergency management
Neurocritical care
Neurological ICU (NICU)
- Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke management
- Traumatic brain injury and ICP monitoring
- Status epilepticus and refractory seizures
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage and vasospasm
- Guillain-Barre and neuromuscular emergencies
- Post-neurosurgical critical care
- Neuroprotective protocol management
General critical care coverage
Mixed / Community ICU
- Undifferentiated critical illness management
- Full-spectrum medical and surgical coverage
- Resource-limited critical care environments
- Rapid stabilization and transfer coordination
- High-acuity care without subspecialty designation
- Flexible coverage for variable case mix
- Rural and critical access hospital ICU support
ICU transition and overflow
Intermediate & Step-Down
- ICU-to-floor transition management
- Overflow coverage during high-census periods
- High-dependency monitoring and intervention
- Ventilator weaning in step-down environments
- Preventing readmission to ICU through close observation
- Bridging care between intensivist and hospitalist teams
- Telemetry and continuous monitoring management
Clinical Capabilities Our Intensivists Bring
ICU coverage is only as strong as the provider delivering it. Physicians Staffing Solutions evaluates intensivists across both the cognitive and procedural demands of critical care — because the ICU requires both, often simultaneously.
Critical Care Management
- Mechanical ventilation: initiation, management, and weaning
- High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and non-invasive ventilation
- Vasopressor and inotrope selection and titration
- Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) oversight
- Targeted temperature management post-cardiac arrest
- Transfusion strategy and coagulopathy management
- Hemodynamic monitoring and advanced hemodynamic support
- Nutritional support and TPN management
- Palliative care integration and end-of-life planning
- Multidisciplinary rounding and care coordination
Bedside Procedures
- Central venous catheter placement (internal jugular, subclavian, femoral)
- Arterial line placement and management
- Endotracheal intubation and difficult airway management
- Percutaneous tracheostomy
- Thoracentesis and chest tube placement
- Paracentesis and abdominal drain placement
- Bronchoscopy in the intubated patient
- Lumbar puncture
- Pulmonary artery catheter placement and interpretation
- Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)
Procedural Expertise
In addition to clinical management, our pulmonologists may provide advanced procedural support, including bronchoscopy, thoracentesis, pulmonary function testing, ventilator management, and other respiratory-focused procedures depending on your facility’s needs and credentialing requirements.
Why Physicians Staffing Solutions
Physicians Staffing Solutions takes a more personalized, physician-led approach to pulmonology staffing. Our leadership team understands the clinical and operational demands hospitals face because we come from the same environment. We focus on thoughtful provider matching, continuity of care, and long-term partnership—not transactional staffing models.
What is pulmonology staffing and who needs it?
Pulmonology staffing provides hospitals, health systems, and outpatient clinics with access to board-certified pulmonologists for respiratory care coverage needs. This may include support during physician vacancies, growth periods, leaves of absence, or when additional specialist expertise is needed for complex respiratory conditions.
What is the difference between on-site pulmonology staffing and tele-pulmonology?
On-site pulmonology staffing places a pulmonologist directly within your hospital or clinic environment to provide in-person patient care, consultations, and procedural support. Tele-pulmonology delivers virtual specialist consultation through secure real-time technology, allowing facilities to access pulmonology expertise without requiring a full-time on-site provider.
Can your pulmonologists perform bronchoscopy and other procedures?
Yes. Many pulmonologists within the Physicians Staffing Solutions network have experience performing procedures such as bronchoscopy, EBUS, thoracentesis, pulmonary function testing, chest tube management, and other respiratory-focused interventions. Provider capabilities are carefully aligned with each facility’s clinical and credentialing requirements.
Do you provide outpatient pulmonology coverage?
Yes. Our pulmonology services support both inpatient and outpatient environments, including pulmonary clinics, chronic disease management programs, lung cancer evaluation, and follow-up care for respiratory patients transitioning from hospitalization to outpatient treatment.
Which respiratory conditions do your pulmonologists manage?
Our pulmonologists manage a broad range of respiratory and pulmonary conditions, including COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, acute respiratory failure, pleural disease, lung cancer-related conditions, and post-COVID pulmonary complications.
Do you work with rural or critical access hospitals?
Yes. Physicians Staffing Solutions works with rural hospitals and critical access facilities that may not have consistent access to pulmonology specialists. Our tele-pulmonology services are especially valuable for organizations needing reliable respiratory consultation without the overhead of a permanent on-site placement.
