Starting this week, Catalyst Systems, LLC, a healthcare consulting company specializing in precision staffing solutions, will show patient care leaders how to best utilize, motivate, and retain high-demand nursing staff. Evidenced-Based Staffing Strategies for Managing the Nursing Shortage will be presented as a one-day continuing education workshop in six major cities across the country.
Nationally recognized for her work in workload management and care delivery system evaluation, Catalyst CEO and co-founder Dr. Holly De Groot, FAAN, RN, said, “This workshop will enlighten patient care leaders on the importance of using objective data in making staffing decisions.” Healthcare organizations invest much money in nurse staffing, but there is still high turnover and a severe staffing shortage in the nursing industry. Catalyst’s program will show patient care leaders how to find hidden problems in staffing systems that create difficulties for management and staff alike.
“Participants will leave our workshop with solid plans of action for improving their staffing and care delivery systems,” Dr. De Groot noted. While educating nurse leaders is one of the missions of Catalyst, the company’s ultimate goal is to help nurses reclaim their passion for their profession by streamlining their workload and re-designing their work environment to increase patient safety.
