How to deal with staffing shortages in healthcare practices

How to deal with staffing shortages in healthcare practices

Staffing shortages continue to plague the healthcare industry, creating a vicious cycle where overworked healthcare professionals question their ability to continue.

A recent NIL report showed that 81% of clinicians want states to implement laws governing staff-to-patient ratios, which they ranked as one of the biggest considerations when taking a job.

Terry speaks with consultant Debra Phairas, on this episode of the Edge podcast on how to tackle staffing shortages in this climate of post-COVID burnout.
