Healthcare organizations have a growing responsibility to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts not only for their employees, but also to better serve patients and their families. DEI has been a recent focus for businesses and organizations across the world, but perhaps none stand to make a greater impact than the healthcare industry, as it directly affects patient health outcomes and quality of life in a profound way.
You’ve chosen one of the most selfless career paths. As a nurse, you devote every working day to taking care of others (and most likely, on your off days as well). Serving in a profession that is riddled with long shifts, high stress, few breaks, and little time to catch your breath between patients, it’s important to make yourself a priority.
Hola Beloved Soul, Yep, it’s been awhile. First, thanks for opening up this blog post. My sabbatical for my 70th birthday in 2021 is coming full circle. I took plenty of risks, riding a roller coaster of highs and lows. I took a delicious, daring chance and fell into a mature love story, all the while glamping on an obscure island. I learned how to band lobsters, cultivate oysters and enter a local seafood chowder contest.

Today’s workforce includes multiple generations of employees all looking for something different from their benefits package. While meeting these disparate needs can be challenging, a comprehensive fertility benefit can support everyone from junior staffers learning about their fertility health to senior leadership managing menopause and low testosterone symptoms.
Leadership development in healthcare organizations is a critical strategy to promote employee satisfaction and retention. Growing your talent from within helps to create a culture where employees see opportunities and leaders understand the challenges encountered by their team members. Professional development offerings such as emerging leader programs and clinical ladder programs for nurses can improve staff engagement and retention, notes Trish Richardson, MSN, BSBA, RN, NE-BC, CMSRN, Relias

We often hear nurses described as dedicated, empathetic, trustworthy, and even heroic — especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. But while there are plenty of adjectives we can attribute to these life-saving professionals, the job often seems too complex and dynamic to capture in one, easy-to-read definition.

We often hear nurses described as dedicated, empathetic, trustworthy, and even heroic — especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. But while there are plenty of adjectives we can attribute to these life-saving professionals, the job often seems too complex and dynamic to capture in one, easy-to-read definition.
We continue to see an increase in fiduciary litigation involving employer-sponsored group health plans, particularly litigation involving mental health. A recent New York Federal District Court case, Collins et al. v. Anthem, Inc. & Anthem UM Services, Inc., Case No. 1:20-cv-001969 , is one example that may have wide-ranging impact. This case caught our attention because of its potential impact on plan design and plan administration of its mental health and substance use disorder (collectiv
Times are changing, and so are the ways we train our staff. In Relias’ latest State of Healthcare Training and Staff Development Report , we explored how these changes are affecting training in healthcare. One of the biggest takeaways from this research is the reason healthcare leaders view training as important. In the survey for our report, 81% of respondents rated staff education very important (the top rating) for licensing and certification.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace. In a recent survey, 70% of respondents said they have considered changing their employment to better manage symptoms — perhaps because only 8% received significant support from their employer related to meno
It would appear that although ER nurses perform their duties seamlessly despite dealing with critical injuries in patients, this type of high level stress has impacts beyond the ER. A Master of Nursing student from the University of Calgary suggests that the work environment is not only stressful, but could have devastating consequences.
Today’s revenue cycle employees must react to constant changes — to payer requirements, regulations, coding, compliance, and legislation — and so must vendors. Training can make all the difference with revenue cycle management outsourcing, healthcare leaders have found. “In today’s HR environment, with obstacles in recruitment and retention of staff, as well as the rapid expansion of technology, we will see an increase in outsourcing opportunities,” predicts John Woerly, RHIA, CHAM, FHAM, an Ind

Employee expectations around benefits and workplace support have evolved in step with the growing need for fertility and family-forming care. As HR professionals, it is our job to ensure employees have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits our organizations offer and how they can utilize them. Before educating employees, we first need to understand the rising healthcare costs and the financial burden of fertility care.

As HR and total rewards professionals, we are often seeking opportunities to foster a better sense of community and belonging amongst employees - ensuring that all employees have an equitable opportunity to receive fertility treatments is one of the many ways this can be achieved. Fertility benefits make it possible for employees to access treatments like IVF.
