"Certification gave me the knowledge not just to anticipate based on experience, but to understand exactly what is happening in a patient’s body, what’s going to happen to them in 6 hours, and what to expect in 2 days," Jordan explains. "I stopped treating symptoms, and injuries, and mechanisms, and started treating a patient and their families."

As a nurse it has been incredibly frustrating that the patient care industry has yet to embrace the concept of safe and sufficient staffing as a norm. It's astonishing that countless nurses and healthcare workers have been forced to make the decision to leave their careers simply because their concerns and complaints were ignored, putting their bodies and licenses in jeapordy. It's truly disheartening that some institutions are only now acknowledging the issue of staffing in healthcare, labeling it as a "nursing shortage"…..The real question is, why did it require a full-blown crisis in our healthcare system for only some decision-makers to grasp the importance of providing adequate support to those entrusted with the task of ensuring the safety and well-being of human lives? 🧐 It's about time people recognize that such vital jobs should demand nothing less than unwavering support. #itsaproblem #nursing #healthcare #support #safestaffing

Back-end optimizations can save time with coding and billing. Restructuring OR case assignment algorithms can improve efficiency with surgical teams. But when does the patient actually see benefit from these costly endeavors? Mercy is using its patent-facing coworkers to bring safety and efficiency workflows from concept to implementation. The people that are closest to the patient experience are now able to test products, workflows, and more Impactful strategies. I’ve always said that some of the best healthcare professionals are the ones who have been IN the hospital bed, the ones who juggle their own health concerns, and who truly live the patient experience. It’s easy to get caught up in the latest trends of efficiency, cutting edge technology in our EHR and ‘what the competing system is doing better’ but programs like the Innovation Unit help us refocus on the mission, values, and charism at Mercy.
