Nursing Shortages
The Shock After the Boom
Preparing for 2012 and Critical Staffing Shortages
In 2012, the first members of the Baby Boom generation turn 62. This birthday won’t be cause for celebration in healthcare organizations, thanks to two important implications:
- The most experienced, valuable members of your team will begin to retire. The retiree rate will ramp up as years go on, leaving your staff with a shortage of knowledge and experience. The gaps will be most acute in nursing, where 13% attrition is expected to cause a crisis in nurse staffing.
- Your retired staff members will be coming back as patients…along with thousands of their fellow Baby Boomers…due to the increased need for health care that inevitably comes with the senior years.
A FlowOne Lean engagement is a powerful, proactive way to address this coming concern. Lean leads to major improvements in efficiency, which makes it possible to deliver more care with fewer resources. By empowering nursing professionals, a FlowOne engagement increases their job satisfaction and helps your organization retain top nursing talent. FlowOne helps nurses find their voice and develop the leadership potential to fill vacant nursing management roles. Most importantly, the FlowOne process facilitates the transfer of nursing knowledge to a new generation of healthcare professionals.
