• 5 Reasons Clinical Data Analytics Are Worth The Effort

  6/16/2015

  Recent survey results by CDW Healthcare found more than two-thirds of healthcare decision makers say analytics is one of their organizations top three priorities, while other recent survey results from KPMG found only 10 percent of organizations are using advanced tools for data collection with analytics and predictive capabilities. This incongruity is not surprising. With all the health information technology (HIT) projects occurring at healthcare organizations right now: optimizing electronic health records (EHR), increasing electronic health information exchange (HIE) and expanding and securing wireless networks for mobile devices and hospital equipment, HIT professionals are understandably preoccupied with other projects.

• Keys To Building A Fortified Staffing Process Ahead Of The Nurse Retirement Surge

  12/18/2015

  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.
