Staff retention & management
Technology that makes caregivers’ work easier and more efficient
Our industries continue to experience unprecedented staffing shortages, creating challenges for health and community care providers. WellSky® is investing in technology and services designed to consolidate redundant processes and streamline care delivery across service lines, empowering clinicians to practice at the top of their license in a more efficient and effective way..
Background
Staffing shortages are serious and widespread. Within the next five years, the U.S. faces a projected shortage of more than 3.2 million essential low-wage health workers such as medical assistants, home health aides, and nursing assistants, according to a labor report from Mercer. If current trends hold, 29 states will not be able to fill the demand for nursing talent, coming up almost 100,000 nurses short in the next five years.
These caregivers are the backbone of our healthcare system, providing critically needed services and care. The consequences of failing to sustain the healthcare workforce include increased hospital readmissions and lower patient satisfaction.
A number of factors are contributing to this crisis – burnout, an aging workforce, and limited resources for education and training. Technology has a significant role to play in helping employers reduce fatigue and recruit and retain high quality staff. WellSky is investing in the healthcare workforce with intuitive, easy-to-use EHRs with predictive care support and analytics that assist with staff retention.
Beyond technological innovations, WellSky is investing in the next generation of healthcare providers by partnering with Austin Community College in Texas to offer scholarships to students pursuing a licensed vocational nursing certificate or associate degree in nursing. The $1 million fund was established in 2011 and is currently scheduled to extend through 2027, serving 400 students.
