At the end of 2023, we made predictions about key trends we believed would shape the healthcare industry in 2024. Now, as 2025 approaches, we’re revisiting these insights to explore how our predictions played out and what trends will remain pivotal in the year ahead. Here’s what we expect to continue to see in the year ahead: - Building the foundation of the healthcare workforce: With a significant shortage in foundational roles, such as CNAs, MAs and PCAs, many healthcare organizations will need to focus on building their talent pipeline and hiring workers earlier in their careers. - Utilizing data analytics to support new nurses: Leveraging tools, like our Impact Dashboard, will allow leaders to gain real-time insights into nurse career journeys, leading to reduced #turnover and improved #patientsafety. - Rethinking healthcare workforce education: Apprenticeship-style education and standardized training will address today’s immediate shortages while building a resilient, highly competent workforce prepared for the future.
