Nursing shortages, bedside turnover and rising labor costs are forcing health systems to do more with less. Labor now accounts for nearly 60 percent of the average hospital’s expenses and replacing a staff nurse costs roughly $60,000. Every hour clinicians spend searching for equipment or documenting away from the bedside comes at the expense of patient care, retention and financial performance.
This session explores how leading health systems are addressing both challenges by focusing on clinical mobility and RFID asset and medication tracking.
The result is a practical approach that improves workflow efficiency, gives clinicians valuable time back and helps protect margins.
What you’ll learn:
- How clinical mobility gives clinicians more bedside time, reducing burnout and supporting retention amid ongoing staffing shortages,
- Practical strategies to improve workflows and protect margins as labor costs continue to rise, and
- How RFID asset and medication tracking improves visibility and reduces avoidable equipment costs.
