Will Robots Replace Healthcare Providers?
Automation has been making human workers superfluous for centuries, but until recently, workers whose jobs required high-level cognitive skills have been able to rest easy, confident no machine could possibly replace them when it came to making nuanced decisions based on the evaluation of complicated, sometimes contradictory data.

A Case for Interoperability In Healthcare: Reduce Information Management Labor12/22/2014
Today’s hospitals are filled with white-faced, exhausted, and worried men and women, which doesn’t inspire confidence for those who depend on them for care. Indeed, the workloads of nursing staff and physicians puts them at risk of becoming patients, rather than care providers, every day they set foot in the wards and consulting rooms. Severe staff shortages, budget cuts and a system stretched thin by efforts to reform, all take their toll on the population of medical professionals.

Keys To Building A Fortified Staffing Process Ahead Of The Nurse Retirement Surge12/18/2015
AMN Healthcare recently released its 2015 Survey of Registered Nurses. This research included input from nearly 9,000 RNs on topics ranging from retirement, education, and emerging roles. A number of the findings struck me, the following two especially:
- 62 percent of RNs over 54 are thinking about retirement and most say they plan to retire within three years
- RNs love their career choice, but have mixed feelings about their job, citing not having adequate time with their patients, feeling their job negatively affects their health, and so on
That leaves us with the most experienced nurses nearing retirement and the majority of remaining nurses not feeling overjoyed with their jobs, although they love nursing. This points to an overwhelming need to improve conditions for care staff. Typically, the top dissatisfier for staff are staffing/scheduling issues, e.g., being short, having to float, having shifts cancelled, and being recruited constantly to pick up additional shifts. One of the solutions to this critical concern is a combination of technology and workforce strategies that can provide more certainty with staffing, greater work-life balance, and increased time with patients.
