Healing Healthcare

Evidence-Based Strategies to Mend Our Broken System

Faced with shortages and system upheavals, the healthcare system currently teeters on the brink of collapse, prompting responses from a respected group of healthcare professionals who each spotlight evidence-based strategies for recovery in Healing Healthcare. With a diverse set of contributors from practice, academia, and the community, Healing Healthcareis a poignant exploration of the intricate challenges within the healthcare landscape post-pandemic and solutions for change. This collaborative effort serves as a beacon of hope, paving the way for a truly healed and resilient healthcare ecosystem. 

At its core, Healing Healthcare amplifies the voices of nurse leaders. This book is filled with the solutions, action steps, and strategies to fix our broken healthcare system, divided into three distinct sections: Workforce, Well-Being, and Wisdom. Contributors to the Workforce section tackle issues of incivility, inequities, and generational needs, emphasizing the crucial requirement for emotional safety. Nurses need work settings that promote well-being and meet their needs for a wellness culture, as is explored and made clear in the Well-Being section. Wisdom moves us beyond common discussions on maximizing patient value as contributors explore cultural misalignments, education, lack of recognition, and uncertainty, providing a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by healthcare professionals and our next chapter in the healthcare reform space. 

Healing Healthcare is for the leader who wants to make an immediate impact. This book is a must-read for healthcare professionals, packed with vetted ideas for change. We urge you to embrace, and be, that change.
