HIGH TURNOVER IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY BIGGEST THREAT TO WEATHER EMERGENCIES
The healthcare industry has been riddled with staffing issues over the last few years much of which can be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With staffing shortages come threats to patient care, accelerated burnout for working employees, and a broad uncertainty for healthcare organizations throughout the country.

“You can set a great plan, you can work a great plan, but if you have a lot of staff turnover, you have to continue to drill and you have to continue to make sure that everybody in the building understands the plan otherwise,” he said. “All the best laid plans aren’t very useful unless everybody understands what they are in and knows what to do when disaster strikes.”
