I'm thrilled to share my blog, "Nurse Reimbursement: Redefining Nursing’s Value," published in The Nursing Beat, about my experience at the Commission for Nurse Reimbursement’s Legislative Summit. The piece explores the evolution of nursing in the U.S., from the 1920s when private duty nurses provided economic independence for women, to the 1930s when hospitals began bundling nursing services into room rates. This shift made the economic impact of nursing services invisible and reduced nurses to costs in hospital budgets. Today, this lack of a direct reimbursement model has significant consequences, including understaffing and burnout, which ultimately affects patient care. Read the full article to learn more about the challenges and implications for the nursing profession. #NursesOnLinkedin #HealthcareOnLinkedin

Did you know that nurse reimbursement structures have stayed the same since the 1930s when they were first introduced? That's right -- almost 100 years ago! The Commission for Nurse Reimbursement is the only organization focused on modernizing nursing reimbursement. I'm excited to share my latest blog post on The Nursing Beat, which dives deep into the critical issue of nurse reimbursement. The current system is outdated, bundles nursing care into the room rate, and fails to value the expertise and essential care nurses provide. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gbzacPtC. Want the TLDR version? Here you go! How will a new nursing structure impact the future of nursing? 1. Nursing will be recognized as a billable service, which sends a powerful message to others in healthcare about our specialized discipline. 2. Creating a billing mechanism gives health systems a financial incentive to innovate and invest in education, certifications, and new care models. 3. Nursing gains a seat at the table to leverage data on the cost and value of our skilled services. So what's next? 1. Join the Commission for Nurse Reimbursement's membership community to support our mission, fund research and model development, and gain access to a robust community of like-minded people. https://lnkd.in/gEYy9xC4 2.

One of the most persistent challenges facing the nursing workforce is the enduring issue of Nursing Shortages. This pervasive problem spans across various healthcare settings, creating a ripple effect that heightens workloads and contributes to nurse burnout. As we look ahead to 2024, alleviating these shortages through targeted recruitment and retention strategies is anticipated to continue, underscoring the critical importance of addressing staffing gaps within the healthcare system. A closely related concern is Nurse Burnout, a condition elevated stress levels and burdensome workloads leading to both emotional and physical exhaustion. Strategies to prevent and address burnout are likely to take center stage, acknowledging the need for a resilient and thriving nursing workforce. Workforce Diversity emerges as another key aspect requiring attention in 2024. Acknowledging the significance of a diverse healthcare workforce in providing culturally competent care and addressing health disparities, efforts to promote diversity within the nursing profession are expected to intensify. Aligning the workforce with the diverse patient populations it serves is crucial for delivering equitable and inclusive healthcare. The Retirement Wave looms on the horizon as approximately 50% of nurses find themselves aged 50 or older. Anticipating this demographic shift, 2024 is projected to witness a surge in demand for new nurses. Filling the vacancies left by retiring nurses becomes paramount, necessitating strategic planning and recruitment initiatives to ensure a seamless transition. Interprofessional Collaboration remains a cornerstone for delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. Transitioning to Advocacy and Policy Issues, a vital aspect of the nursing profession, the year 2024 anticipates a renewed focus on Safe Staffing Ratios. Advocacy efforts persist for optimal patient care outcomes through establishing and enforcing safe staffing ratios via legislative and policy changes. This underlines the commitment to creating environments that prioritize patient safety. What urgent solutions do you think are needed to address nursing shortages and alleviate the impact on healthcare professionals and patient care quality? #nurses #nursing #nursingjobs #healthcare

Nursing Shortages Reaching New Heights as Crisis Worsens The nursing shortage crisis, already at dire levels last year, continues to intensify going into 2024. With over 225,000 RN vacancies nationwide and nursing turnover rates over 15% in many Northeast health systems, temporary and travel nurse staffing costs are skyrocketing. Healthcare administrators face difficult tradeoffs balancing strained budgets and quality patient care impacts from understaffed nursing units. Allied Health Worker Burnout Fueling Turnover Across Care Teams Shortfalls in rehab therapists, techs, and other allied health roles also worsened over 2023, compelling increased reliance on overtime and temporary staff. With allied health openings expanding over 70% in some regions last year, care continuity and team stability substantially deteriorated. Staff fatigue will likely catalyze further turnover absent access to larger, more flexible talent pools. Innovative Clinical Talent Solutions Urgently Needed Recruiting and retention present compounding workforce gaps requiring years of systemic enhancements to fully resolve. With patient demands unrelenting today, healthcare leaders must pioneer collaborative partnerships to expand access to talented supplemental staff. Customizable clinical teams from specialist staffing firms like Healthcare Staffing 247 can rapidly stabilize strained departments to maintain care standards.
