Title: Healthcare Staffing Crisis in Alberta and Canada Alberta's Struggle: Staffing shortages are acutely felt in Alberta's robust healthcare system, leading to increased workloads, longer wait times, and compromised patient care, particularly among nurses. Nationwide Impact: From British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador, hospitals nationwide face critical shortages of nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals, especially in rural and remote communities. Factors Contributing to the Crisis: Aging population, competitive job markets, limited training opportunities, and workplace stress contribute to high turnover rates among healthcare professionals. Impact on Patient Care: Patients experience longer wait times, overcrowded emergency departments, and decreased quality of care, while healthcare workers face heightened levels of stress and burnout, compromising patient safety. Government Response: Government officials are exploring initiatives such as increased funding for education and residency programs, along with incentives to attract healthcare professionals to underserved areas. Call to Action: A collaborative effort from healthcare organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, and professional associations is essential to develop and implement sustainable solutions prioritizing the well-being of healthcare workers and patients. https://lnkd.in/gsM6rrPc #canadianhealthcare #albertahealthcare #nursingcare #nusingstaffing #healthcarejob #lpn #lpnjobs #rn #rnjobs #hcajobs #registerednurse #healhcareaide #nursingcareer #nursinghome #assistedliving #longtermcare #assistedlivingfacility #dementiacare #dementiacaregiver #adultmentalhealth #nursingcare #rncareers #registerednursejobs #healthcareindustry #hcacareers #licencepracticalhursing #albertajobs #albertahealthcare #ahs #albertahealthservices

5 things highly motivated nurses tend to look for in a job: 1) Autonomy (to do what they want, how they want, when they want, and with who they want) 2) Mastery (Opportunity to learn and grow) 3) Grit (Opportunity to push themselves) 4) Purpose (Meaningful work) 5) Fair compensation (Financial, benefits, continuing education, vacation, promotions) Because it's interesting, it's challenging, it's rewarding. But they like to know there's a reason behind what they're doing. So your goal as a leader is to find nurses that have those qualities. And once you find them, to provide the environment where they can fly. You want to know why you can't retain a high calibre team? It's because you're not providing a high calibre culture where they can thrive. You're taking a high calibre professional athlete and you're putting them in the amateur leagues. They're going to get bored. Professional athletes don't like being told what to do. They like being given the freedom to excel. -Kerwin Rae Get your free e-copy of Nursing Wisely on Amazon until Saturday!

While the recent boom in nurse staffing has deservedly attracted much attention in the US, allied healthcare staffing — a wide range of clinical professions, excluding physicians and nurses — also experienced record demand. In this article, we briefly highlight recent trends from our 2023 US Allied Healthcare Staffing Benchmarking report. https://lnkd.in/eMNpqHaQ

The ACHE's end-2023 hospital CEO survey put "workforce challenges (e.g., personnel shortages)" at the top of the list (again). Underneath that- 86% marked "RN shortages" and 79% marked burnout among non-MD staff as top priorities All these tie together, but reminder that the shortage is NOT just patient demand > RN supply- it's mounting dissatisfaction among RNs at the bedside, turning to agency and other alternative employers as a result Hospitals still are the employer of choice for most RNs- back in 2019, I had a high-performing employee leave us after finishing her degree, with a clear rationale: "Hospital nursing is why I just got my RN, and it's what I want to do next" BUT this status as "employer of choice" is fading, driven by old systems and processes. At In-House Health our platform allows hospitals to deliver a modern employment experience. Our impact often starts with our Workload Optimizer, which saves hospitals ~10% on labor costs, while building more appropriate shifts and reducing burnout
