The ability of the US healthcare ecosystem to survive is at serious risk. Ever increasing cost pressures have forced hospital administrators to impose increased responsibilities onto nurses, physicians, and other allied healthcare workers, substantially extending their work days.
The result is severe burnout and significant defection from the profession.
It is critical that hospitals address the immediate concerns of nurses, work to rebuild the relationships that nurses have with their patients and employers, and help promote the profession to ensure that the best and most compassionate candidates pursue a nursing career.
Staffing shortages have immediate negative impact:
need for alternative, more expensive solutions for patient care, e.g., traveling nurses
increase in medical errors
meaningful reduction in the effective capacity of patients served
Staffing shortages also have lasting consequences:
precipitous deterioration of financial health
decline in the available pool of healthcare professionals
inability to sustain the economic model of medical training
Unchecked, this situation will accelerate to the point of irreversible damage.
Revolution, not evolution, is required, and the solution needs to be holistic with measurable results.
The Solution
Curis Advisory Group employs a set of analytical frameworks to implement a sustainable solution. Our approach is scalable and rooted in operations management, artificial intelligence, and behavioral science.
Achieving the desired goals requires:
A coordinated effort among all interested parties: nurses, nursing administration, unions, hospital administrators, payors, corporations, and government.
Creating safe, comfortable, protected environments and protocols to hear from nurses to identify and implement effective programs that satisfy their needs and start the process of rebuilding the profession.
Curis is now accepting applications from hospitals for participation in the next cohort.
The goal of the initiative is to demonstrate measurable and scalable improvement for your organization.
