Health System Workforce Experience Accelerator

Method: Accelerate Learnings

Impact Area: Strengthening the Healthcare Workforce

Supporting Our Workforce

CaroNova is supporting a bi-state collaborative to transform the workforce experience, examining the root causes of burnout and lack of professional fulfillment, and working with health systems to codesign and launch an online resource suite of existing best practices and innovative strategies.

Where We Are

CaroNova is working closely with eleven hospital systems across the Carolinas to co-design strategies intended to improve workforce experience.

The sites have developed robust solution packages to support replication by other healthcare systems. Sites continue to evaluate the effectiveness of their workforce retention strategies and are disseminating a workforce experience pulse survey to measure burnout and professional fulfillment; sites are also collecting workforce retention data to better understand turnover and vacancy rates.

CaroNova facilitates bi-monthly meetings with the sites to promote peer learning and solidify a systems approach to addressing workforce shortages.

Where We're Going

CaroNova will promote the resource suite and solutions via communications campaigns and partnership channels.
CaroNova will draw on data about the solutions’ effectiveness to continue learning about which types of approaches are replicable and scalable across multiple health systems.
CaroNova will disseminate a final report with lessons learned and evaluation best practices.

Seven Steps to Innovation & Impact

CaroNova’s approach to pioneering lasting real-world health solutions is systematic, research-driven, collaborative, and community-minded. We purposely identify opportunities where partners can work together to cultivate, co-design, and catalyze health improvements in the Carolinas through our process.
