“Today, Nursing Span of Control is more complex than ever due to a varied staff skill level, program focus, and budget. Therefore, we felt that assistance in this area would be most beneficial to leadership at this time,” said Rick Pollack, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association. “The goal is to help organizations move past instinctive decision-making about Span of Control and staffing – towards informed, intentional decision-making in this area,” he added.
According to HASC, the organization has tasked its Nursing Advisory Council to investigate and explore relevant academic research, as well as practical solutions to help the C-Suite make informed and effective decisions about the widespread impact Span of Control has in hospitals.
“We will provide a framework of organizational performance measures that these leaders will be able to use to set forth the right balance for their unique hospital environments,” said Jim Finkelstein, president of FutureSense.
Joe Randolph, president and CEO of The Innovation Institute, said, “Exploring innovative solutions is something we are passionate about, and our Innovation Lab is the perfect setting for FutureSense and the HASC Nursing Advisory Council to collaborate and share fresh ideas with hospital leaders.”
The morning event will consist of a three-hour workshop that allows for speakers to dive deep into the Span of Control issue for leaders who have successfully tackled this issue to share their stories, as well as for participants to bring their Span of Control challenges to the table for brainstorming and action planning.
