Maintaining appropriate staffing in healthcare facilities is essential to providing a safe work environment for both healthcare practitioners and patients. However, repetitive tasks falling on healthcare providers create staff dissatisfaction, contribute to burnout and staff turnover, and negatively affect patient care. Patient demographics are also changing over time. With the increased percentage of Generation X, Millennials and Gen Z in patient populations, the need for automated patient centric interactions is also on the rise. Is the optimism that automation can solve the staffing crisis justified? Will advanced technologies create a nimble workforce or negatively impact an already frail culture? How do we create an inviting environment to attract healthcare workers?
