Executives who participated in the HealthLeaders CMO Exchange say their organizations are experiencing varying levels of workforce shortages.
Nursing shortages are widespread across the country.Workforce shortages extend beyond nursing, including technical roles, social work, respiratory therapists, and non-professional jobs such as environmental services.Workforce shortages are expected to persist after the coronavirus crisis has passed.
Healthcare workforce shortages were one of the key pain points identified at the recent HealthLeaders Chief Medical Officer Exchange.
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted workforce shortages at health systems and hospitals across the country. On Sept. 1, the American Nurses Association urged the federal Department of Health & Human Services to declare a nurse staffing crisis and to take immediate steps to implement solutions. Last week, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health announced that the Lebanon, New Hampshire-based health system had raised its minimum rate of pay for all positions from $14 per hour to $17 per hour to address workforce shortages.

Employee retention is a priority at AHN, he said. “We celebrate every single event—we make people feel appreciated in every possible way. We have pizza parties. We acknowledge people with events on the nursing floors and elsewhere in the hospitals. We are doing things to create camaraderie. We are focusing on wellness—we have serenity rooms in each of the hospitals. We want people to feel appreciated and to have a sense of belonging as well as focusing on their wellness.”
Statements like this from the dim-witted CEO are the very reason why they are having shortages. I’m sure pizza parties are number one on the list of desirables of nurses and staff. /s/ I wonder if the dim-wit CEO has ever considered that mandating experimental mRNA to child-bearing age nurses might be a factor - remember who approved Thalidomide, swine flu vax, etc.
