Introduction
The looming nursing shortage is a critical concern that healthcare authorities need to address promptly. According to a report by the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario, the province is projected to face a shortage of 33,000 nurses and personal support workers by 2028. This shortage not only threatens the quality of patient care but also highlights the urgency of finding innovative solutions. Clinical Placement+ offers a comprehensive platform that can help healthcare authorities recruit more students from their own networks and beyond, thus addressing the impending crisis.
Recruitment
Clinical Placement+ recognizes the need to expand the recruitment pool for nursing students. By partnering with educational institutions and healthcare facilities, the software bridges the gap between students and available placement opportunities. With a centralized platform, it becomes easier to connect with external networks and tap into a larger talent pool. This not only increases the chances of attracting more students but also promotes collaboration among various stakeholders.
In addition to the nurse and PSW shortage, the FAO predicts the province is likely to be short 500 beds out of the estimated 7,500 beds needed just to serve the growth in demand for hospital services.
