Where Did All the Employees Go? Assessing the Healthcare Staffing Crisis
Healthcare is experiencing a perfect storm when it comes to staffing issues.
Post COVID, medical practices are experiencing an increase in patient volume. However, with this volume of patients, the staff is overworked and not feeling valued.
This mass burnout has created critical staffing shortages for many practices. When put together, these trends negatively impact the delivery of care, patient satisfaction, workflow efficiency, recruitment, and more.
The question is, “How do we shift this trend?”
Join us as we discuss strategies to handle this timely conundrum affecting so many practices today. In its place, you will learn how to create a positive practice environment and overcome the exodus of staff.
