Important Paper Quick Reaction ⚡ `Addressing the Nursing Workforce Crisis Through Nurse-Physician Collaboration` We are in a nursing shortage crisis. The stress of COVID on our care delivery systems squeezed a chronically understaffed #RN workforce. This viewpoint provides a sober assessment of the state of #RNs in U.S. hospitals: 📈 30-50% of nurses have signaled an intention to leave the profession in a recent survey due to poor working conditions and burnout. 📉 Chronic understaffing has produced power imbalances, unsafe nurse:patient ratios, and overloading of incumbent staff. 🚫 Failures to adapt flexible nurse care models to keep experienced #RNs in the game. What can we do about this? The authors provide a prescription: ☑ Interprofessional collaboration between #RNs an #physicians -- strength in numbers. ☑ Develop innovative care delivery models to enact evidence-based standards on care delivery (e.g., hybrid virtual care with team-based bedside approaches, clinician-led process design -- not 👔 ). From a tech perspective, let's reduce the monotony of paperwork and the myriad of other administrative duties that don't add value to patient care and contribute to burnout. We must take a proactive posture, predict patient acuity better, and allocate RN and MD/PA coverage accordingly to prevent the moral injuries of bad patient outcomes due to inadequate resources. By combining technological and systemic approaches to mitigate understaffing, healthcare systems can create a more supportive and sustainable work environment. #HealthcareDelivery #Nursing #WorkforceBurnout #RNs # https://lnkd.in/exz6xCXE

Thank you Sarah Bell, RN, MSN, MHA for sharing this. Well, we know that the #nursing pipeline is producing more #nurses in the last couple of years, we also know that turnover remains high, and that more nurses are moving into non-hospital and nondirect care positions. We are going to have to find ways to integrate technology into the delivery of nursing practice. #Virtualnursing is one component of this which is evolving rapidly into the virtual care team overall. Virtual nursing will continue to progress at an exponential pace over the next couple of years and will become the standard of care. #caretransformation

National Nurses Month celebrates over 5 million of us nationwide who are vital to care delivery and other areas of healthcare. Meanwhile, the nursing workforce continues to face many challenges that need to be addressed to truly support our profession. Some federal and state legislators are debating mandating patient-caregiver ratios to improve care and reduce nurse burnout, despite opposition citing risks of patient diversion. Healthcare leaders are also turning to generative AI, virtual nursing, and algorithms that enhance insights into patient acuity to help alleviate the strain on nursing staff. In 2022, one report found a staggering 90% of nurses thinking about leaving the profession. https://lnkd.in/gEV-42Py I #NationalNursesMonth #NursingBurnout #VirtualNursing #DigitalHealth #genAI Healthcare IT News

When COVID was in full swing, staffing firms were charging hospitals $220 an hour for a nurse. Do you know how many nurses quit the profession after that? Over 100K and we already had a nursing shortage. That’s the reality of the market we’re dealing with now. With all that training, years of education, great salaries, etc and these people are still going “you know what? Life is too short.” So what used to take one or two staffing firms to supply a hospital now takes 2, 3, maybe even 5x that. What if you could get the benefits of a single point of contact but access to as many staffing firms as you needed? That’s what we’re doing at Evoove. Staffing agencies continue to operate the same old way in a world that has drastically changed all around us. That’s got to change for everybody’s sake.
