She will be going over making 2020 the best year ever as well as her unique brand of marketing that we feel lends well to the what we do on the day to day marketing our positions to candidates.

Nursing’s Shortage Goes Way Beyond Headcount

Interest Area: Recruitment, Workforce Planning, Financial Management

Continuing EducationCredits: 1.0 SHRM CE

Rationale: Current thinking around shortage of RNs is focused on vacancies and the overall supply and demand dynamics within the workforce. This session describes how healthcare employers are about to face an entirely new shortage in the nursing workforce – an experience shortage.

LearningObjectives:

• Discuss the reality and implications of a shortage of headcount and experience
• Review 4 specific strategies to address the ‘Experience- Complexity’ gap
• Explore how to influence your organization to be proactive in preparing for the ‘Experience-Complexity’ gap
• Abstract Details: Hospitals and health systems across the U.S. face a new kind of shortageamong the nursing workforce; an experience shortage.

The workforce is becoming increasingly novice as experienced nurses retire. At the same time the care complexity is rising and shows no signs of abating. These two countervailing forces create a gap between the experience of the workforce and the complexity of care provided.

This session will present 4 strategies that can be practically implemented to deal with the quality and financial implications that will result from the ‘Experience-Complexity’ gap. The four strategies can be categorized as Teach, Redistribute, Differentiate and Innovate.
