With nurse burnout on the rise, health care organizations need fresh strategies to support and retain these essential workers.
Dusti Browning, VP of Growth and Client Solutions at Conduit Health Partners, details in an article with Employee Benefit News the promising approach of adopting a hybrid workforce model that allows nurses to split their duties between virtual and bedside care.
On an episode of the Healthcare NOW Podcast, host, Dr. Nick van Terheyden, also known as Dr. Nick, delves into the critical issues facing health care professionals with Dominique Wells, chief operating officer at Conduit Health Partners, to shed light on the intricacies of running a health care company, the impact of the pandemic, and the importance of collaboration in problem-solving.
The care paradigm shifting from the hospital to hospital-at-home was a positive development from the pandemic. “When care is centered around the patient and their needs, patients are able to take a more proactive role in their own health from the comfort of their own home,” shares Cheryl Dalton-Norman, president of Conduit, in an article with McKnight’s Home Care.
More health systems are looking to expand care options outside the four walls of the hospital, including remote patient monitoring and hospital-at-home programs.
Though Hospital at Home programs have been around for years, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated their adoption across the country to help ensure continuity of care amid rising infection rates. Since then, they’ve remained a valuable and effective option for patient care, improving patient outcomes and engagement.
