This talk explores the hidden costs of nurse turnover by quantifying the lost productivity due to slow access onboarding. Using detailed data from research by KPMG, NSI, and AHA, the presentation calculates that delayed access can cost the healthcare industry as a whole more than $700M per lost hour. It highlights the manual, time-consuming steps that extend nurses’ onboarding processes, impacting patient care, risk management, and staff morale. The session also features anonymized case studies, including one where a hospital network saved millions by streamlining access procedures. The discussion covers how modern solutions can speed onboarding and reduce overhead, providing a clear, actionable path to improved outcomes for health care organizations.
