Retention Resiliency: Three Health Systems’ Proactive Strategies

Tuesday, March 19th, 2024 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

Nearly 50% of frontline employees are experiencing frequent feelings of burnout, according to the CDC.¹ Unlocking new ways to engage, support, and retain staff naturally remains paramount to health systems nationwide. Hear how three leaders – Simmy King, Chief Nursing Informatics & Education Officer at Children’s National Hospital, Ingrid Jones, System Director, Culture, Engagement & Retention at UNC Health, and Kelly Vaughn, Chief Nursing Officer at Nebraska Medicine – have started to crack the code and are improving how their teams work together, and stay together.

Simmy will share insights on building a cutting-edge “early warning system” for burnout with a data-driven approach; Ingrid will provide an overview of UNC Health’s UNC Health for Me initiative, which was integral to reducing their nurse turnover rate by 20% and saved the system $5.4M per year; and Kelly will cover how Nebraska Medicine’s leader-focused strategy reduced first-year nurse turnover by almost 50%. Attendees will walk away inspired with new ideas to address complex issues driving turnover.
