Creating an Always Culture

<p>Unless you live under a rock, you already know there is a serious nursing shortage in this country. The Bureau of Labor Statistics currently estimates a deficit of nearly one million nurses by the year 2022. Nursing shortages are not new, but this one is different from some of its predecessors. Previous shortages, like the one seen in 2001, were more about a lack of supply. In other words, fewer people were choosing to make nursing their career.</p> <p>Listen to the podcast and see our related podcast to learn more:  <a href="https://alwaysculture.com/hcahps/causes-solutions-nursing-shortage/">Causes and Solutions for the Nursing Shortage</a><span id="hs-cta-wrapper-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e" class="hs-cta-wrapper"><span id="hs-cta-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e" class="hs-cta-node hs-cta-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e"><a href="https://alwaysculture.com/hcahps-questions/download-the-hcahps-tactical-guide/"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" id="hs-cta-img-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e" class="hs-cta-img" style="border-width: 0px;" src="https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2756195/22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e.png" alt="5 Areas of Focus for HCAHPS eBook" width="988" height="473" /></a><br /> </span><br /> <script charset="utf-8" src="https://js.hscta.net/cta/current.js"></script><br /> <script type="text/javascript"> hbspt.cta.load(2756195, '22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e', {}); </script><br /> </span><br /> <!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --></p> <p>The post <a href="https://alwaysculture.com/podcast/podcast-causes-solutions-nursing-shortage/">[PODCAST] Causes and Solutions for the Nursing Shortage</a> appeared first on <a href="https://alwaysculture.com">Always Culture</a>.</p>

<p>How do more tenured nurses feel about value based care? It’s a question that challenges any person in a staffing and management position. The ideas of value based purchasing, raising HCAHPS scores, and patient satisfaction aren’t new for staff members in a hospital setting. For the nursing staff on the front lines, however; the concept is more complex. New nurses who join the team are adapting to many new concepts and processes, and these tactics and requirements for value based care are usually accepted as part of the job.</p> <p>Listen to the podcast and see our related podcast to learn more:  <a href="https://alwaysculture.com/hcahps/tenured-staff-value-based-care/">Introducing Tenured Staff to Value Based Care</a><span id="hs-cta-wrapper-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e" class="hs-cta-wrapper"><span id="hs-cta-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e" class="hs-cta-node hs-cta-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e"><a href="https://alwaysculture.com/hcahps-questions/download-the-hcahps-tactical-guide/"><img decoding="async" id="hs-cta-img-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e" class="hs-cta-img" style="border-width: 0px;" src="https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2756195/22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e.png" alt="5 Areas of Focus for HCAHPS eBook" width="988" height="473" /></a><br /> </span><br /> <script charset="utf-8" src="https://js.hscta.net/cta/current.js"></script><br /> <script type="text/javascript"><br /> hbspt.cta.load(2756195, '22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e', {});<br /> </script><br /> </span><br /> <!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --></p> <p>The post <a href="https://alwaysculture.com/podcast/podcast-introducing-tenured-staff-value-based-care/">[PODCAST] Introducing Tenured Staff to Value Based Care</a> appeared first on <a href="https://alwaysculture.com">Always Culture</a>.</p>

<p>Today’s patients see care teams differently than they once did. In the past, patients played more of a child-like role to their physicians and nurses. However, in today’s more patient-centered market, there has been a shift to patients wanting more information and control over their own care—they want to be a member of their own care team.</p> <p>Listen to the podcast and see our related podcast to learn more: <a href="https://alwaysculture.com/hcahps/todays-patients-see-care-teams/">How Today’s Patients See Care Teams</a></p> <p><span id="hs-cta-wrapper-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e" class="hs-cta-wrapper"><span id="hs-cta-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e" class="hs-cta-node hs-cta-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e"> <a href="https://alwaysculture.com/hcahps-questions/download-the-hcahps-tactical-guide/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" id="hs-cta-img-22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e" class="hs-cta-img" style="border-width: 0px;" src="https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2756195/22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e.png" alt="5 Areas of Focus for HCAHPS eBook" width="988" height="473" /></a><br /> </span><br /> <script charset="utf-8" src="https://js.hscta.net/cta/current.js"></script><br /> <script type="text/javascript"> hbspt.cta.load(2756195, '22bb855d-afd9-450d-94ff-7043ee65177e', {}); </script><br /> </span><br /> <!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --></p> <p>The post <a href="https://alwaysculture.com/podcast/how-todays-patients-see-care-teams/">[PODCAST] How Today’s Patients See Care Teams</a> appeared first on <a href="https://alwaysculture.com">Always Culture</a>.</p>
