Invest your time, money, and effort, in your current employees. Advent Health, a Florida-based healthcare system invested 440$ million in additional compensation for the healthcare worker. It doesn’t have to be money always, you can invest in other unnecessary things as well like training, or necessary tools and solutions which make their task easy. For example, Intermountain Healthcare partnered with the educational platform in stride to offer better training services and work?ow tools to caregivers and their family members. Shares Hospitals should consider ful?lling the requirements of their employees like a subsidy for childcare, ?exible schedule, and mid-day mental health breaks. Training tools are of great help to combat administrative budgeting and planning burden that interrupts medical staff productivity. 2) Focus on education One of the best and most effective ways to cope with the healthcare worker shortage is by helping aspiring healthcare professionals.
