Transforming the nursing workforce: Key challenges and opportunities uncovered in a new leadership survey


Despite improvements in nurse turnover and vacancy rates, hospitals' and health systems' longer-term concerns for this workforce persist. 

To improve operational efficiency and maintain the quality of patient care, healthcare leaders are reexamining how nursing is done. Becker's Healthcare and Microsoft recently conducted a survey among healthcare C-suite leaders, including chief nursing officers, to learn more about the nursing challenges hospitals and health systems are facing and how organizations are navigating these issues.

This report summarizes key findings from the survey and includes commentary from a vice president and chief clinical information officer from a health system with more than 30 hospitals serving the Mountain West region of the U.S.

Key learnings include:
 
  • The top three nursing challenges faced by survey respondents
  • The opportunity to mitigate some of these challenges with emerging technologies
  • Why healthcare needs "rapid change" to support nurses and meet the changing demands of the profession
