Creating a Thriving Nursing Ecosystem
Presented by: HealthLeaders
Sponsored by: Medical Solutions
11:10 - 12:10 PM EST

About the Session:

With current staffing challenges, hospitals and health systems are devising new practice models to provide quality care while also creating safe and healthy working conditions for nurses—their largest workforce. Because of variables—resources, barriers, constraints—that are specific to each unit, area, and community, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, there are plenty of solutions.

This HealthLeaders Nursing NOW Summit panel will provide thought leadership from nurse executives on how to create successful care models that balance the needs of nurses and their organization to create a thriving nursing ecosystem.

Panelists:
Bree Becker, MSN, FNP-BC, RNC-MNN, Director of Clinical Operations and Manager of Clinical Excellence, Medical Solutions
Patricia Horton, Chief Executive Officer, Georgia Center for Nursing Excellence
Kay Kennedy, CEO, uleadership
Eric Wicklund, Technology and Innovation Editor, HealthLeaders

Optimize your workforce and lower your labor costs with a flexible approach to nurse staffing

12:15 - 1:15 PM EST

About the Session:

About 94% of 100 health system executives surveyed described the severity of the nursing shortage in their health systems as “critical,” and part of that may be because health systems aren’t delivering on what nurses want: flexibility.

The 2023 Healthcare Executive Report revealed that 80% of younger nurses requested more flexible scheduling, yet only 11% of health system executives surveyed offered more flexible schedules. In addition, 41% of travel nurses surveyed for a Job Satisfaction Index report said they would never return to a staff position because they preferred freedom and flexibility.

This HealthLeaders Nursing NOW Summit panel will offer thought leadership from nurse executives on how a flexible approach to nurse staffing optimizes your workforce and lowers your labor costs simultaneously.

Panelists:
Rhonda Thompson, CNO, Phoenix Children’s
Andrew Thum, DNP, ML, RN, NE-BC, Director, Enterprise Nursing Workforce Operations, Jefferson Health
Susan Pasley, MS, BSN, RN, VP of Clinical Solutions, CareRev
