Are we giving #nurseleaders the attention and support they deserve? A recent piece by Becker's Healthcare's Hospital Review raises an important question about our healthcare system's focus on nurse leadership and their critical role in patient care and organizational success. In an era where the well-being of our healthcare professionals is paramount, it's essential to leverage innovative solutions that acknowledge and enhance their leadership and operational efficiency. This is where Balance Scheduler by Duality Systems steps in.

Why is it always posted like a Suprise... I feel like Vizzini from Princess Bride. The Heartbeat of Data-Driven Healthcare Success and the most trusted profession is nurses...? Nurses make huge impact at Vive? What a great concept! As a passionate advocate for clinicians and nurses in leadership roles, I've witnessed the transformative impact of firsthand, real-world evidence knowledge in driving success in healthcare. Too often, companies play at being healthcare entities without truly embodying the essence of clinical expertise. Sure, there may be a Chief Clinical whatever...mostly because of regulations and pesky compliance... we need clinicians (usually a MD) in a C suite role. But if most decision-making, leadership, feedback, product development, and team composition lack clinical insight, like Relevant and Recent...then it's merely a facade of a healthcare company. However, there are champions leading the charge for change. At #vive2024 this year, while I wasn't physically present, I was cheering on the few RNs who were, because that's what RNs do—we support and lift each other up. I was happy to see some panels with RN experience promoting innovation in healthcare and providing invaluable clinical perspectives on the main stage. And to was great to see the Nurse Innovation Center allowing more networking and synergies. But despite these strides, there's still a noticeable gap. As a RN it was VERY difficult to get a pass to gain access to #vive2024; so I did not attend although it was a bucket list item for me this year. While main stages may feature clinicians, in the startup and digital health trenches, they seem few and far between. Not always, but most of the time. All I have to say is this... If clinicians aren't leading, it's not a healthcare company; it's a tech company who happenstance is in the business of healthcare. Cheers to the clinicians and nurses out there building and leading the way toward a brighter, data-driven future for healthcare. #ClinicianLeadership #NurseLeadership #DataDrivenHealthcare #Innovation #nursesonlinkedin

In my experience as a #HealthcareAdministrator over the past two decades, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of #innovation, the critical importance of staying abreast of #trends, and the undeniable value of a #patient-centric approach in the hospital industry. These elements are the foundations of modern #HealthcareManagement, driving both the evolution of medical practices and the enhancement of patient experiences. Yet, the journey towards excellence extends beyond these foundational pillars. It encompasses the cultivation of a nurturing environment for our dedicated staff, fostering their #professional growth, and ensuring that our doctors operate in settings that not only recognises but also amplify their expertise. Equally important is our engagement with the local communities we serve. Their trust and loyalty are not just byproducts of our service but the very essence of our existence. In nurturing these relationships, we not only strengthen our #healthcareecosystem but also reaffirm our commitment to compassionate care. As we look to the future, let's continue to champion innovation and patient care, while also prioritising the development of our staff, #Nurses #QualityManagers and deepening our community connections.

What does tech's promise of "greater efficiency" in healthcare look like in reality? In the course of our work, we talk to tons of doctors, nurses, administrators, IT staff, and more across the healthcare landscape, and we hear some variant of this over and over: "We need technology to make the provider more efficient and save time." The next question we often ask is, "what do you want to do with the extra time?" If the interviewee is a hospital administrator of some sort, we're likely to hear some flavor of, "see more patients" or "get more work done". If the interviewee is a clinician, however, we're likely to hear some flavor of, "spend it giving better care to the patient in front of me". What will be the consequences to patients, providers, and the business if these misaligned priorities aren't addressed? Technology isn't a panacea. It always comes back to people. #patientexperience #digitaltransformation #healthcare #humancentereddesign

"We've now scheduled over 100,000 shifts, approximately 6,000 hours of time saved on the nurse leaders." - Michael Schlosser, MD, MBA, SVP Care Transformation and Innovation at HCA Healthcare "[That success] took us down this pathway of bedside shift report, where we can take another manual process, highly variable, highly important and risky part of care delivery, and apply technology and automation to help them do their job better, do it safer and continue to return our nurses to the bedside so they can focus on taking care of patients."
