Help us build a sustainable workforce of the future.
The nursing profession is at a critical inflection point. Nursing turnover is reaching nearly 20% per year, leading to decreased stability and quality in patient care, exacerbating nursing shortages, and increasing health system costs.
We must reimagine how to prepare and deploy new models to attract and retain our nursing workforce.
During NurseHack4Health, nurses, developers, engineers, designers and even patients and their families come together to address foundational nursing workforce challenges. Together, we can reshape the future of the nursing profession.
Participants will come up with innovative solutions to address Nursing Retention and Recruitment in the following focus areas:
Track 1: Diversity in Practice and Care
Attracting & fostering a diverse, empowered workforce that serves the needs of an evolving patient population
Flexible career pathways that provide expanded range of care needs
Mental health and wellbeing
Engaging and supporting new entrants to practice
Creating environments that support diversity and empowerment among nursing community
Streamline patient access to nursing care in underserved communities
Track 3: Driving Administrative Efficiency in Nurse-led Care Delivery
