Challenges with pharmacy-hospice direct contracting
Pharmacies face significant challenges when contracting directly with hospices. Some of these include:
Here are three ways to better your workplace when addressing nursing shortages.
1. Provide proper communication channels
A solid foundation helps organizations thrive. That is why it is so important to make sure that your nurses feel heard and are recognized for their hard work, and that they have the ability to discuss openly how to better improve their working experience.
2. Provide appropriate case loads and less after-hours work requirements
In order to provide the best patient care, it’s important to not pile nurses with high case loads. Most recently in 2021, the Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act helps to minimize patient load for nurses nationwide.
3. Provide a healthy work culture
A nurse’s job is mentally and physically taxing. That is why it is so important to provide options to address mental health, allow for time off to recharge, and provide proper tools to be successful.
