Nursing Solutions

In today’s complex, fast-paced healthcare environment, nurses are the champions of patient care. With the right support, nurses have the specialized skills and knowledge to advocate for the patient and play a proactive role in helping to maintain and improve patient care outcomes.

But nurses in the United States face insurmountable challenges that jeopardize their performance and ability to deliver quality care. Severe nursing shortages are on the rise — according to a March 2008 report, shortages across the country may reach 500,000 nurses by 2025, all while nurse demand continues to increase 2% to 3% a year.

Despite a workforce shortage, hospital nurses are under monumental pressure to prevent the occurrence of hospital-acquired conditions and medication errors, all while meeting organizational demand for increased patient throughput to help hospitals rein in costs. Add that to a common lack of alignment between nursing and doctors and the day-to-day inefficiencies of missing or incomplete information and out-of-stock supplies. Needless to say, job satisfaction, stress and high turnover rates are key areas of concern for nurse leaders.
