“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.

“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.
David understands what we need but he doesn’t come in and tell us, “This is what you’ve got to do.” He says, “Here’s the system, here is how it works.” He doesn’t tell you what your staffing should be. Nash says, whatever staff workload you feel comfortable with, we are going to show you how to save money with that plan. That’s where you get buy-in from finance people, like me, who want to cut costs, and the clinical folks, who want staffing workloads they feel comfortable with.
The key is that Nash’s system bonds clinical with financial and that doesn’t often happen. Usually finance says “cut” and clinical says, ‘we can’t.’”

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.

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
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.
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.
