COVID-19 has brought about insurmountable challenges to U.S. hospitals and healthcare organizations. Nurses have been at the forefront of the pandemic, playing a critical role in the fight against COVID-19 – often times a traumatic experience, as they faced unimaginable illness and suffering. As a result, despite many regions facing declines in COVID-19 cases and deaths, health systems are still left with many challenges, including staff shortages, more severe than anything they have seen before. 

A&M Healthcare Industry Group’s Human Capital and Workforce Management practice is eager to share a two-part podcast series, “The Impact of the Current Nursing Shortage on U.S. Healthcare Organizations.” Listen as our Human Capital and Workforce Management Leader Bianca Briola, Managing Director Diane Rafferty, and Senior Director, Nancy Logel, talk to our guests about their experience managing a nursing workforce during these critical times and their plans to address the shortages their systems are facing. 

Guests:

• Nicole Kerkenbush, Chief Nursing and Performance Officer, Monument Health
• Vicky Orto, Chief Nursing and Patient Care Services Officer, Duke Regional Hospital
• Angelleen Peters-Lewis, Vice President, Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer, Barnes-Jewish Hospital

Diane Rafferty shares her thoughts on the nationwide nursing shortage in Bloomberg Law's "Burnt-Out Nurses Push Back as Staff Shortages Strain Hospitals."
