Are Staffing Shortages Increasing Adverse Events?
In March, The Advisory Board reported on the Top 10 Patient Safety Concerns for 2022 according to ECRI, a 60-year-old nonprofit committed to the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of healthcare. ECRI publishes an annual report on safety concerns and this year, number one on their list is “Staffing Shortages.” ECRI stated that, “Adverse events... were happening because the staff... were exhausted, and that contributes to human error.”
The Advisory Board cited other research that found nurses are 67% more likely to have a failure of patient safety when working overtime, and that insufficient staffing is the number 1 factor influencing nurses’ intention of leaving their current position.
Today's guest is Mark Lloyd, Senior Vice President at Guideway Care, a tech-enabled, patient activation, and care navigation company, that is addressing staffing shortages and clinical team exhaustion with care guidance and navigation.
