Healthcare’s big challenge: how to foster a resilient, supported clinical workforce?

Healthcare systems worldwide are facing big challenges – from clinician shortages and budget constraints to the pressure to attract and retain healthcare talent.

Global leaders in healthcare are not just tasked with maintaining quality care but also with ensuring their workforce is resilient, supported, and equipped to adapt to an evolving landscape.

Clinician shortages and budget constraints

The shortage of clinicians is one of the most pressing global issues. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is a projected shortfall of 11 million health workers by 2030, further burdening the professionals who remain. Alongside this, budget cuts mean hospitals and clinics often need to do more with less, making efficiency and workflow innovation critical priorities.

A changing population – getting older but more digitally aware

With people living longer, healthcare systems are seeing increasing demand for services to manage chronic conditions. And more people – of all ages – are turning to ‘Dr Google’ or ChatGPT to research their myriad health concerns.

So, when patients are arriving with detailed questions supplied by an AI tool, it’s important that their healthcare professionals have the right information at their fingertips to deliver evidence-based care.

The competition to attract and retain talent

The best hospitals attract the best clinicians, creating a cycle of high-quality care, improved patient trust, and better outcomes. With burnout on the rise and more competition for highly skilled professionals, healthcare organisations must find innovative ways to support their teams.

Against a landscape of constant medical advancements, continuous professional development (CPD) is both desired and required. When clinicians can confidently demonstrate their knowledge and use the latest treatments, patient trust and satisfaction improve.

This is where Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tools are invaluable. By seamlessly integrating evidence-based resources into clinicians’ workflows, CDS tools provide instant access to the most current medical knowledge. Here's how that makes a difference:

Staying current

With medical evidence now doubling every 73 days, keeping up with advancements is an enormous challenge. CDS tools condense this vast array of information into actionable recommendations, ensuring clinicians always have updated, reliable guidelines at their fingertips.

Maintaining patient trust

Patients today are more informed than ever, thanks to wide access to online health resources. When clinicians use evidence-backed CDS tools, they’re empowered to confidently answer patient questions and recommend the latest treatment pathways. This reinforces their expertise and fosters trust in the patient-provider relationship.

Boosting clinician confidence

Access to the latest information is deeply motivating for clinicians. By having real-time support for complex medical decisions, they can focus on patient care without second-guessing their choices. This confidence not only improves their performance but also bolsters job satisfaction.

Designed for today’s challenges

Today’s challenges can sometime seem insurmountable—but they don’t have to be. Our eBook, “Enabling better decisions across your organisation” offers actionable insights on supporting your workforce while positioning your organisation as a leader in quality care. It covers:

1. Reducing burnout with smarter decision-making

Clinicians face the daily pressure of making hundreds of critical decisions. This ebook explores how technology can streamline workflows, reduce decision fatigue, and empower clinicians to focus on patients. By offering real-time answers to complex medical questions, organisations can alleviate the cognitive strain on their teams.

2. Maximising budget efficiency through automation

Budget pressures require hospitals to do more with fewer resources. The ebook explains how digital tools, backed by artificial intelligence and seamless integration with electronic health records, can boost efficiency without compromising care quality. By automating routine decisions and freeing up clinician time, healthcare providers can make every penny count.

3. Focusing on preventative care to keep patients healthier

With populations aging, the focus is shifting to preventive and chronic condition management. The guide provides strategies for using Patient Education materials (now in 19 languages) to help patients take control of their health, resulting in better outcomes.

4. Retaining talent

High-performing clinicians want to work where they feel supported and equipped to succeed. Hospitals that provide the right tools and foster an environment of streamlined efficiency are more likely to retain top talent. By adopting data-driven decision-making and featuring scalable resources, as outlined in the ebook, hospitals can position themselves as employers of choice in competitive talent markets.

Real results, real impact

From reducing diagnostic errors to improving patient safety, the impact of technology is undeniable. The ebook shares case studies and expert insights on how organisations have successfully implemented these solutions, reducing patient mortality and enhancing workforce satisfaction.
