2023 Together - PH342 - Innovating the Future Through New Clinical Roles and Care Models
We cannot hire our way out of the current nursing shortage using a prepandemic approach. This session showcases UCHealth’s focus on planning for a very different workforce by leveraging innovative roles and care models that bring joy back to nursing. The key to success is not always having more registered nurses, but ensuring adequate support roles to complement the right number of nurses for the patient population. Examples include innovative support roles that ensure top-of-scope nursing practice and models of care that leverage nursing expertise through technology.
