Perioperative Nursing at the Breaking Point and How We Can Fix It

About

A Roundtable Discussion with Perioperative Executives from Five Leading US Health Systems

Decades before COVID-19, hospitals were struggling with how to effectively meet and manage standards of patient care. While the current pandemic has clearly introduced new burdens on nurses and nurse management, in many ways, the pandemic has severely amplified old issues and combined them with a new generation of challenges. Historically, nursing has been incredibly resilient; so much so that hospital leadership has unfairly relied upon nurses to weather any storm. Are we finally at the breaking point? If so, what can be done to move us in the right direction?

Agenda

Identify ways to effectively meet high standards of patient care in a climate of nursing shortages, ever-changing regulations, and restrictive budgets
Address the generational shift in the nursing mindset, resiliency roadblocks, and the economic realities of the workforce
Implement technology and process changes to relieve the burden on the nursing staff while empowering them with more transparent, accurate, and mobile patient data
