Current Challenge
Strengthening the Nursing Workforce
Nurses are consistently recognized as the most trusted professional in the country. This is because they provide caring and healing expertise every day. Nurses are first-hand sojourners with patients/families through difficult, critical, and joyous events. Multiple stressors over the past two years have resulted in increasing moral distress, shortages, and job turnover. Nurses need technical solutions that reinforce nursing as the highest and most rewarding role in healthcare. Henry Ford Health is committed to developing solutions that support advancing nursing practice, efficiencies, and wellbeing. The winning team will have the opportunity to develop their solution in partnership with the Henry Ford Health.
