In Indiana, approximately 80% of critical patient transfers took longer than two hours. Transfer delays are one of the clearest signals of capacity pressure. When inpatient beds aren’t immediately available, patients remain in the ER longer... slowing throughput and increasing staff workload. Nationally, hospitals report similar boarding challenges during peak respiratory seasons. https://lnkd.in/gSjytYTF

Saturday morning thoughts 🌅 Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants: The Future of Healthcare Is Here In 2025, NPs and PAs now manage over 25% of U.S. healthcare visits—and that number is rising fast. With states like Michigan and Wisconsin expanding full practice authority, these professionals are delivering more accessible, high-quality care than ever before. 💡 NPs are even leading in healthcare innovation, integrating AI into patient care and topping U.S. News’ “Best Jobs” list (again). As a consultant partnering directly with NPs and PAs daily, I’m constantly inspired by the impact these roles have—especially in underserved communities. If you're an NP or PA, know this: your work is driving change, expanding access, and redefining modern care. Let’s keep pushing the industry forward. 👏 #NPs #PAs #HealthcareLeadership #Proudpartner #FutureOfMedicine #FullPracticeAuthority Weatherby Healthcare

💵 Our CNO Solved Their Nursing Shortage Without Raising Pay. Here’s how... Nursing shortages aren’t going away anytime soon, but you don’t always need to raise pay to keep your team. Here’s what worked: 👉Shorter shifts & less overtime to reduce burnout. 👉Per-diem internal float pools which allowed their nurses to pick up extra shifts without overloading the core team. 👉Shift differentials & referral bonuses to attract staff to hard-to-fill shifts Plus, some of the most overlooked ways to improve retention: => Poll your team often: Ask what’s working, what’s not, and actually listen. => Ask your nurses to rate their shifts => Give nurses a seat at the table for decision-making, it improves engagement and ownership. So for any healthcare leader struggling to hire or keep staff: It's not only about pay. Even small shifts in scheduling, support, and engagement can make a huge difference for morale, retention, and patient care. But if you don’t know how your pay, benefits, and reputation compare to those of your competitors, you’re flying blind. Curious how you stack up? That’s exactly what helpmecompete.ai helps you answer. Know More. Hire Better. ******************************************************************* #HealthcareHR #NurseRetention #CNO #Xeroictechhealth
