April 25, 2023 – Dignity Health Global Education, a leading workforce development solutions provider that exclusively enables healthcare systems and organizations to upskill and retain top talents, today announced a new Nurse Residency program available across 21 U.S. states, developed in partnership with CommonSpirit Health, to standardize excellence, deliver and measure evidence-based clinical practices, and provide a scaled foundation for new nurses transitioning into practice.
To address the nursing shortage and staffing crisis, DHGE has designed an innovative Nurse Residency program, developed in partnership with CSH nurse educators led by Connie Clemmons Brown, DNP, RN, system SVP, Patient Care Services, to accommodate health organizations in transitioning nurses to practice. DHGE’s centralized platform provides a complete technology infrastructure that is easy to scale and can be tailored to each organization’s unique needs.
This 12-month Nurse Residency program, delivering at scale across 21 different states, is a cost-effective solution for organizations that are looking to improve their nurse retention, increase role satisfaction and well-being of their nursing workforce, and decrease new nurse attrition rates. With DHGE’s support system and high-quality training, employers can ensure nurses’ satisfaction with their job and empower them to make positive outcomes for both healthcare organizations and their patients.
DHGE’s Nurse Residency, training both preceptors and residents, aims to increase nurse retention rates and save costs for healthcare organizations. Through a clear developmental pathway built upon digital badges, residents get an evidence-based education that boosts their skills. Participating healthcare organizations will get full support from the DHGE’s highly-trained program support specialists, instructional designers, and technologists who will provide a tailored step-by-step implementation. Decision makers will be able to predict retention rates and measure the true effectiveness of the program through our reporting, deep insights, and real-time data.
