WEBINAR | Transforming Nursing: Strategies for Building a Sustainable Work Environment

Kelsey Reed, DNP, FNP-C, Director of Patient Care, Phoebe Putney Health System. Creating a more sustainable working environment for nurses requires persistence and a direct and consistent alignment between leadership actions and nurses’ values. Phoebe Putney Health System has a successful record of exactly that type of ambitious change management, including the ability to balance larger scale pursuits with more immediate adjustments. By dedicating the right resources to each opportunity, they have been able to create a clear framework for the success of not only each individual project, but also overall progress towards a greater vision of comprehensive burden reduction. Dr. Reed shares several strategic initiatives her organization undertook to begin to bring this vision to life. Among these, she discusses how her organization took virtual nursing from concept to completion, establishing a command center hub and growing the team to include 30 virtual nurses; enabling greater mobility for nurses to complete documentation real-time, minimizing disruptions and increasing focus; and other efforts to optimize EHR functionality and improve nurse experience and satisfaction.
