This is very common in Sweden. It's good for doctors but not so much for patients, depending a bit on the speciality. This is because you lose some quality of care when you see a different doctor each time. But of course a fresh point of view can also sometimes be an advantage and bring new knowledge.

That said, this is an inevitable development in healthcare and I welcome your approach using software to automate the process.

Source I'm a doctor. I have done temp work through agencies such as this one. And I'm a software developer.

Thanks. We agree that the concept lends itself better to some specialties like ER, Anesthesia etc. I would love to hear more about your experience if you have a chance. - amit@shiftdoc.com
