Optimizing Staff Utilization: Effective Scheduling and Deployment of Internal Resources

One way organizations prioritize their employees is to create intentional and informed recruitment and retention strategies. Organizations also benefit financially from these strategies.Organizations and all employers of APRNs and PAs (called Advanced Practice Providers - APPs) make decisions annually to provide a salary increase.

During the first 3-6 months in their new role, new Advanced Practice Providers have a lot to learn about your work environment, the patient population, and the expectations and responsibilities of their role. An effective physician assistant or nurse practitioner orientation program supports them as they continue learning, participate in knowledge-based training, and become accustomed to your team before taking on an independent full-patient load.

Challenges in Healthcare Recruitment During COVID-19. During COVID- 19, nearly all hospitals and healthcare systems saw an increased demand for labor and supplies, which led to an increase in operating expenses and a significant decline in revenue. The Cares Act was therefore passed to include several provisions designed to ease the financial burden on hospitals and healthcare facilities amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A CNS, CRNA, NP, and PA labor shortage can be anticipated for late 2021 and 2022. We have seen the largest jump in recognition of the value of Advanced Practice Providers due to the roles they filled during COVID surges. Hospital Human Resource, Talent, and Recruitment will find this difficult to believe, but the excess of healthcare providers, especially CNS, CRNAs, NPs, and PAs, is going to disappear.

The COVID-19 pandemic took hospitals and healthcare systems for an unexpected turn - pushing both the facilities and the staff - financially, emotionally, physically, and mentally. During recent years, the mental health needs of healthcare professionals have been gaining attention as a major public health concern and threat to quality care delivery.
