Transforming the clinical ladder, competency, and peer review programs to digital is a tough undertaking for any organization.

The end results of digitizing these programs will allow for fewer people errors, better accessibility, and most importantly, improved patient care.

What Are The Challenges?

When things have been done a certain way for a long time, the apprehensiveness to change is bound to happen. Transitioning to new technology can seem like a distraction from the main work that needs to be done. Not to mention, there are financial hurdles to cross over in order to make an investment in worthy technology for your clinical ladder, competency, and peer review programs. Not every hospital system has the funds and the capability to make the digital transformations of these programs even with the return on investment being extremely high. The ones that do have access to these funds would be able to get away from the three-ring binder and have a more streamlined process instead of time being wasted.

Why It’s Time To Make The Transition

With the pandemic slowing down and coming under better control, the timing lines up well to transform your clinical ladder with the use of StaffGarden’s technology. Nurses are no longer looking for just another place to work and collect a paycheck. The emphasis for these clinical workers is now surrounded upon growth and developmentWith hospitals not focusing on learning and development as much as they should, nurse retention is a popular talking point and not in a good way. According to the 2022 NSI National Healthcare Retention Report, the turnover rate for staff RNs increased by 8.4% and currently stands at 27.1%.
