Investing in nurse education and upskilling can enhance competency management, which translates to increased productivity and improved health outcomes. This becomes even more important as we continue to develop a digitized workforce where digital literacy will remain a pertinent issue. Organizations investing in upskilling the digital capabilities of their nurses will see the benefits of improved efficiencies in the delivery of care. In the same vein, at the hospital management level, by encouraging nurses to venture into areas such as health data analytics, we can pivot to a more holistic, patient-centered and data driven approach to care.
5. Committing to supporting nurses in their mission to care
Having visited numerous hospitals across five continents, I have seen nursing leaders and their teams strive towards advancing the nursing profession while not losing sight of their fundamental mission to care for their patients. It is truly gratifying to witness their passion and advocacy for patient care that drives them in their daily work. Throughout history, nurses have always been the backbone of the health system. Their response to this pandemic has shown their value to the world. Leaders in healthcare today need to recognize nurses’ impact on our communities and their potential to drive meaningful change. It is a commitment we should all make to empower nurses in their mission to care. This year, Elsevier has committed to supporting nurses through the pandemic by providing virtual training and access to free healthcare resources. We strive to work with many healthcare leaders across the globe to elevate the role nurses play.
