Reid Health in Richmond, Indiana

“I was invited to a follow-up with Nash after some initial meetings and then was asked to work directly with David at Nash. We primarily used The Nash Group’s services for our nursing service line.

Our overall experience was extremely good. Nash is extremely attentive, paying close attention to detail, walking us through the entire process, all while utilizing various means of constant communication to keep the team well apprised of everything going on.

One of the things that really stood our was their exceptional understanding of best practices in regards to staffing plans for nursing and how to connect all of it into their system. They were very comprehensive throughout the whole process.

Something that had really sold us was learning how another facility was already using Nash’s system. This helped to convert anyone who was on the fence into a believer. We were able to see how well the facility’s experience had gone and how they were able to consistently operate within budget.

Target census and patient placement were our most challenging aspects to overcome in the beginning. We didn’t anticipate a large percentage increase in volume because our forecasting had shown a decline, however the Nash system allowed us to easily navigate this issue. Once everything was in place and squared away, the results were almost immediate.”

    “In my role as CNO I recognize the critical role that our nurse leaders play. They are passionate about delivering our clinical goals and they understand both their clinical and financial accountabilities.

  • Pam Urbanski

    Mercy Memorial Hospital / Chief Nursing Office and Senior Vice President, Patient Care Services

    We hired Nash because we had challenges keeping staffing level and identifying FTE versus bodies. One of our challenges was keeping the care team consistent so that nurses can reliably know the patient ratio.

    “I’ve been in this business 35 years and Nash is one of the best. I have recommended them to several other hospitals because they have done an outstanding job for us. They bring in a proven product — a scheduling system that works. We are using it to this day and have seen several million dollars in savings.

    Defined RN-to-patient ratios have for the most part been successfully maintained for each patient care center and the need for mandatory overtime has been significantly reduced

  • Marti Bauschka

    The experience was excellent. Nash fully engages with you and your team. 100% of the work is face-to-face, which really makes a huge difference in this scenario. The Nash team was also able to effectively engage nurse managers. They worked right alongside them.
