Welcome to the ShiftMed blog where we discuss everything nursing, from professional insights to healthcare holidays to helpful hints for working with us.
I've experienced heat-related illnesses with patients on opposite ends of the spectrum. I worked as a critical care nurse in an intensive care unit (ICU) for 14 years. During the summer, we often admitted one or more heat stroke victims. Usually, these were young military men doing intensive training exercises during the heat of the day.
In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, the crux of success for post-acute and hospital system leaders lies in ensuring high-quality care, as it directly influences patient outcomes and the reputation of their facility. Paramount to achieving this is making sound staffing decisions. The right healthcare professionals enhance patient satisfaction and safety and foster a culture of improvement. ShiftMed recognizes the power of leveraging W-2 healthcare workers to bolster care quality, and we illuminate how it can transform your facility's performance.
