Hospitals Will Innovate to Keep Nurses: 66% Thinking of Leaving

- Hospital Systems will be a major force in healthcare innovation because their current operations are unsustainable for their employees... so they are leaving.
1. 18% of Healthcare Workers have left their job since 2020
2. 66% of ICU and Acute Care Nurses have considered leaving
3. ICUs are so short staffed that they have had to run at 4:1 patient to nurse ratios... the normal is 2:1.
4. A Florida hospital spent $24 Million in 2021 on temporary workers to cover for labor shortages... normally they spend $1 Million per year.
5. Nurses average age is 52 and 19% of nurses are over 65... the nursing workforce is older because younger people do not want the job.
Why?
In my opinion, Reactive Acute Hospital Care is SUPER DIFFICULT.
In fact, it's TOO DIFFICULT.
It is not humanly possible to sustain.
Result: Hospital Systems that innovate with capitated payments and move more care outside of the hospital and into the primary care setting will succeed where reactive, fee-for-service based hospitals will fail.
Example: Ochsner has innovated in this way, has thrived financially during the Pandemic and even expanded by buying a 7 hospital system in the neighboring two states.

I’m a nurse and left the bedside in January of 2022. Things have gotten worst in the hospital. I vote with my feet 🦶👣. This job is crazy hard, I gave up my mental health, family time, even when I was home I was exhausted and the 3-4 days I had off where I would be called every morning to come in, it was not fun time it was recovery time. My wife is so happy I left. The whole family feels they got their loved ones back. I love how this guy is just super honest. It’s is unhumanly possible. That’s why nurses take shortcuts and that’s when moral distress.
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective.
Please explain to us why hospitals don't cut bloated administration, their outrageous pay, and bonuses. Also, plenty of nurses go into the profession...the problem is, FEW STAY.
Long, complicated topic. Has a lot to do with money and power.
Thank you for watching and for your comment.
Great stuff Dr. Bricker! I recently started a new job in the group benefits space and your videos are the most valuable resource on how our healthcare system works!
Super! That’s what they are here for!! Thank you for watching.
Excellent state of the union snapshot on this topic Dr. Bricker. Having been a nurse for 25 yrs I've witnessed this escalating crisis firsthand and completely agree that expanded access to the collaborative network of outpatient primary care will be a timely catalyst for relieving the inpatient burden.
Great. You articulated it better than I did. Thank you!!
If I knew what I know now truthfully I would not get into nursing, but it's too late now.
I know many people feel the same way. Thank you for sharing.
Eric, I love your videos. You're authentic, and entertaining, and RIGHT! How do you get all this terrific research (and synthesis!) done so consistently??
I don’t watch T.V. 😉
Thank you for watching!
One way we all can help is stop eating the standard American diet,. To many people are sick just from our food.
Agreed. USDA food pyramid of the 90's promoted excessive consumption of complex carbs which essentially 'fueled' an obesity & diabetic epidemic. We are now reaping the fruit of what's been sown. Eager to see pursuit of wellness-focused innovation as we collectively shift our focus on access to healthier food choices for all people groups
#True. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
Great point!! Thank you for sharing.
I left the unit in 1994!!!! ICUs I feel for ya.
Did they even have mechanical ventilation back then?! 😉
@@ahealthcarez LOL - I hear ya! It's hard being old as dirt! LOLOLOL
Doc, people want to go into nursing. But they can’t afford to get the education.
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective.
It's def expensive. Many hospitals are increasingly offering tuition reimbursement and/or work-study programs to help fill the need.
Great video as always Dr. Bricker! Would love to hear your opinions on the recent Vera Whole Health Castlight Health Merger. Lot to unpack as Castlight has had a rocky history but the deal also represents a push for value-based care.
Thank you for watching and for your suggestion.
Hello Dr. Bricker after the new federal law were out of network er physician visits can no longer be billed to patients, how do you think this will effect the physician or the system.
ER Doctor Corporation profits will go down. ER doctors are already being replaced by NPs and PAs with their corporate employers keeping the difference of the lower salaries. Now those corporations will make less.
Just my take. I could be wrong.
Thank you for your question.
Hi Dr. Bricker,
Is this movement happening in other countries? If not, why is that? I assume their acute care settings are comparable.
Also, wouldn’t the simplest/easiest innovation be to hire techs and use them as nurses? If not, why not?
Thank you!
In my opinion, you cannot use a tech to force-multiply nurses anymore than what is already used.
Are more non-Covid patients kept out of the hospital in other countries? My experience is only with the British NHS, but their answer to that is Yes.
Appreciate you watching and thank you for your comment.
