Nurse burnout has evolved into a pressing concern with far-reaching impacts on staff well-being, workplace culture, and the stability of the workforce. Contributing factors to burnout are complex, stemming in part from insufficient preparation for the demands facing new nurses, the exhaustive nature of long shifts, the challenge of treating sicker patient populations, fragmented technology systems, and the threat of violence in the workplace.

The State of Patient Access –2024

This report, based on a survey of 200 healthcare employees and 1,036 patients/guardians, examined the perspectives from each group on:

•  how well patient access functions are managed in U.S. healthcare 
•  the order of importance both place on the functions that make up the patient access experience
•  a ranking of what functions are best meeting the expectations of both

Reflecting more positive sentiment than in past surveys, both cohorts indicated that access is finally showing improvement after the frustration evident throughout and immediately following the COVID pandemic.

There is still much room for improvement, and healthcare lags far behind other service verticals in both convenience and price transparency, but the improvement should be noted.
