A new model helps hospitals stay ahead of the staffing curve

ABSTRACT

The article provides information on an internal travel pool for nurses implemented by Novant Health in 2013. Topics discussed include the opportunity provided by the model to staff nurses, forecast made by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on the number of nurses that would leave their jobs even before the pandemic, and changes that have been implemented, underway or are under consideration as the organization seeks to further establish its internal pool as a viable option.
