Hospitals Will Innovate to Keep Nurses: 66% Thinking of Leaving

Hospital Systems will be a major force in healthcare innovation because their current operations are unsustainable for their employees... so they are leaving.

1. 18% of Healthcare Workers have left their job since 2020
2. 66% of ICU and Acute Care Nurses have considered leaving
3. ICUs are so short staffed that they have had to run at 4:1 patient to nurse ratios... the normal is 2:1.
4. A Florida hospital spent $24 Million in 2021 on temporary workers to cover for labor shortages... normally they spend $1 Million per year.
5. Nurses average age is 52 and 19% of nurses are over 65... the nursing workforce is older because younger people do not want the job.

Why?

In my opinion, Reactive Acute Hospital Care is SUPER DIFFICULT.
In fact, it's TOO DIFFICULT.
It is not humanly possible to sustain.

Result: Hospital Systems that innovate with capitated payments and move more care outside of the hospital and into the primary care setting will succeed where reactive, fee-for-service based hospitals will fail.

Example: Ochsner has innovated in this way, has thrived financially during the Pandemic and even expanded by buying a 7 hospital system in the neighboring two states.
