Incredible Health’s Post

📝 CASE STUDY 📝 The islands of Hawaii don’t always have enough Registered and Certified Nurses to fill local medical facilities, so facilities work with recruiters to meet those demands, creating a competitive field of recruiting firms. Our client was one of them, providing travel nurse recruiting services, securing contracts from RNs and CNs from mainland US on short/long term contracts at medical facilities in Hawaii. Our client had 8 such nursing contracts that they needed to sell to a medical facility in Hawaii with the clock ticking on the pre-determined start date. We found a hospital that needed 12 nursing roles filled. 8 would do for now, but they were ready to secure 4 more in advance. Our client was thrilled, if not overwhelmed in fulfilling the additional contracts, and the hospital had their nursing shortage solved. Selling is solving and solving is storytelling.

Irith Lebovich, MD - Check out the comments on Irith's most thoughtful post and this commentary will make sense. You're quite right, Irith. A system is not the pieces of the system, but the interaction of those pieces. Still, working on a relationship seems more about working on emotional issues, not the interactions of two minds (both systems). This is where I probable get myself in the most trouble--speaking of the mind as a system--which it clearly is--but so what! I've become good at spitting in the wind on this subject. As long as I'm already up to my neck in emotional quicksand, I might as well wiggle deeper. More Dibbleisms: Reality is systematic, created inside/out. Our relationships with the opposite sex, for instance, are created by the relationships we have between our Masculine and Feminine Minds. If we want to heal a relationship, we must heal the miscommunication between these two parts of ourselves AND change the habits (systems) in the outside world that are fear and separation-based. We know we can't solve problems with the same thinking used to create them. More importantly, we can't solve problems with the same emotions that define those problems. How do we heal? We must learn to proactively transform thoughts defined by fear to ones based in love. This is the Mastery of Awareness and the Mastery of Transformation. This is true mastery of relationships and life, yes? This is proactively creating the relationships we want in our lives and the you and me we aspire to become. 💙💙 #3DHealthcare #3DDreamWork #3D100MillionDreamersProject #SettingCollectiveIntent

Working in silos been the biggest hindrance in healthcare ! Every cadre wants to just do their part and get away. Patients experience the care as a whole , rate the hospital as a whole ! Untill and unless we break this silos and look at issues comprehensively, the blame game and hierarchial power mis-utilisation will continue to create havoc. Communication is the key. Assertiveness is the key. Let's allow open and judgement free communication for each nurses.

Addressing nursing shortages isn't just a clinical concern—it's a financial one. With programs like Florida's line and pipeline funds showing success in reducing shortages, it's clear that strategic investments in workforce development can yield significant returns. Aprende Health offers an affordable, scalable solution to help healthcare systems not only retain staff but also support expansion efforts. By training bilingual Hispanic professionals through our Patient Care Technician (PCT) programs, we tap into an existing workforce to fill critical roles. This approach not only reduces the costs associated with turnover and hiring but also ensures a steady, culturally competent talent pipeline that grows with your organization. #HealthcareFinance #StaffingShortages #CostSavings #HealthcareRecruitment #AprendeHealth

A serious look for a serious conversation as we kick off the week. Have you ever been in a situation like this? You’re a physician. A nurse suddenly snaps at you for what she perceives to be an oversight on your part. This nurse is competent, invested, and caring. You respect and value her work and feel honored to have her on your team. You deal with the perceived oversight and, later on in the day, ask to meet with her. No response. A couple of weeks go by, and you send out another invitation to meet. Again, no response. So, you schedule a meeting with her supervisor. You discover that there has been pent-up frustration, and are surprised that this has not been communicated to you directly? Supervisor: ‘Well, it’s not easy.’ Physician: ‘What’s not easy?’ Supervisor: ‘It’s not easy for a nurse to speak to a doctor about her frustrations.’ Physician: ‘It seems to me that communication is the issue. We wouldn’t have reached this point if there was direct and open communication.’ Supervisor: ‘This is not a nursing issue. It’s a medical issue.’ Friends and colleagues, this is why our healthcare system is failing. It’s not a nursing issue. Nor a medical, leadership, technological, financial, or staffing issue. It’s a problem solving issue. An ability to step back with a fresh perspective and ask ‘what went wrong and how can we make this better?’. Because solutions are only as effective as our ability to identify the real problem. When will we break down the silos and start speaking to each other to fix the problems that are plaguing our healthcare system? Problems that don’t require a degree in astrophysics, but simply common sense, good intentions, clarity, and creativity. We can no longer afford the status quo. #healthcareprofessionals #physicians #nurses #nursepractitioners #healthcareleaders #medicaleducation #healthcarerevolution #healthcareinnovation

It's heartening so many responses to Irith's post below - about a tense physician-nurse interaction - espouse truth, trust, and psychological safety for all team members. TRUTH: a similar experience taught me healthcare selects for traumatized people with lots of ACEs. Then it traumatizes them further with abusive training (food, sleep, and toilet deprivation + M&M conferences) they moral injury as they rise in the ranks. This is how we groom calloused leaders who fail to fix things or create emotionally safe environments. (If I had a dime for every "when I was coming up...") Add to the mix overwork and underpay, and the fact that this has all devolved into Stephen's observation of "professionals pitted against each other and silo paranoia (that) has increased" should surprise no one. TRUST: How long have we known physicians have the highest per capita #suicide, #overdose and divorce rates and done nothing? Decades. 😞 #Healthcare systems in the US are largely designed to maximize patient volumes and corporate value (including at non-profits), but it didn’t happen overnight by one boogeyman/woman/binary executive’s design. (More like boogeysurance!) I'm increasingly convinced solutions need to include systemwide value-based payments based on #workforcewellbeing and retention metrics. Let’s show staff they matter by tying our financial future to their health. PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY: Physicians and nurses are also afraid to seek mental health care for fear of losing their jobs and licenses. We must get rid of credentialing that asks if we have a mental illness or SUD that could impact care, but not about diabetes, overweight, or cancers that could impact care. Instead let’s encourage universal therapy to normalize it! For all our docs, nurses, therapists, and other staff to heal and build back better, we need #traumainformedcare to address every one of these drivers by design. And do so including leadership, patients, payers, and policymakers in the process. No more singularly minded solutions or legislation. #mentalhealthishealth. We CAN and MUST do better in #healthcare!

A survey is shedding light on nurses' concerns about the staffing crunch and its impact on patient care. Christin Stanford, AMN's vice president of clinical solutions, highlights the pressing issue as expressed by nurses working tirelessly at the patient bedside. 🗣️ "You're hearing this from the mouths and the viewpoint of the nurses at the patient bedside who say, 'It's a problem, and I feel like that problem is going to get worse,'" shares Stanford. 🌐 The heartfelt concerns are coming directly from those in the trenches, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the staffing challenges. Let's amplify their voices and work together towards solutions that prioritize both our healthcare professionals and the patients.

What do Captain Kirk and Fellow Kristy Fillmore, MScN, RN, NPD-BC, CPHQ have in common? Both "go where no (wo)man has gone before". There are (3) barriers to #nursesinmedia 1. Lack of comprehensive media policies 2. Lack of media training opportunities 3. Lack of streamlined media request management To overcome these barriers, Kristy has spent the past 12 months of her Advocacy Institute Fellowship developing a first-of-its-kind "Amplifying Nurses Voices in Media: Policies, Recommendations, and Guidelines" document for nurses, PR & communication teams, and healthcare organizations. This document will create avenues for amplifying nurses' voices, enabling the nursing profession, their associations, and healthcare institutions to promote positive narratives that influence public perception, drive advocacy for improved health and healthcare, and empower nurses to influence health policy. Our 2025 Fellow will continue Kristy's work by: 1. Connecting with nursing leadership and communication departments to advocate for proposed recommendations. 2. Engaging in conversations with media & PR experts regarding barriers to nurses in media. Apply to the 2025 Advocacy Institute Fellowship - Nurses in Media today: https://lnkd.in/gmzjsYUE

“If I don’t grow them, someone else will.” – Deanna NaDell, MSN, RN A Nurse Workforce Survey by McKinsey & Company found that 29% of nurses were considering leaving their direct-patient-care roles in the next year. Poor management, lack of recognition, and insufficient emotional or professional support from leadership leave many nurses feeling undervalued, driving them to seek alternative careers. In this episode of the Advancing Healthcare Innovation Show, I had an inspiring conversation with Deanna NaDell, Chief Nursing Officer at Select Specialty Hospital. Deanna opens up and gets real about these topics and how she bridges generational gaps within her nursing team while keeping patient care at the heart of everything. Her leadership style is rooted in compassion, mentorship, and action. How do you empower your team to grow and innovate? What’s your biggest challenge in leading a diverse group?
