Abstract

As hospital stays shorten, ambulatory care must expand to meet the increased patient acuity and need for care. Ambulatory care is the entry point for care delivery and the initiator of disease management and wellness (Ulrich, 2019). The ambulatory care system of Rochester Regional Health includes 400 registered nurses, and 600 licensed practical nurses with a nursing turnover rate of 18.75%.

By leveraging technology and innovation in program development, ambulatory-specific programs have been implemented to target nursing staff recruitment and retention, resulting in a 4% decrease in ambulatory nurse turnover rates.
