Clinical Scene Investigator (CSI) Academy launches Nursing Workforce Solutions this week, empowering direct care nurses with the tools and leadership skills to promote a healthy work environment, strengthen nurse retention and improve nurse satisfaction by utilizing AACN’s Healthy Work Environment standards.
“Research supports that implementing healthy work environments through nurse-led innovation has measurable improvements for nurse retention, job satisfaction, organizational culture and patient outcomes. Through this collaborative effort, we will drive change to support our nursing workforce.”
– Vicki Good, DNP, RN, CENP, CPPS, FAAN
Chief Clinical Officer, AACN
CSI Academy’s team-oriented program builds additional skills for direct care nurses and leverages their expertise, preparing and supporting them as clinician leaders who effect positive changes that improve patient, nurse and hospital outcomes. Since CSI Academy began in 2012, the program has reached several milestones:
- 816 nurse graduates
- implemented at 141 hospitals
- reached over 13,000 nurses
- impacted 2 million patients
- estimated positive fiscal impact of $114 million
- 455% return on investment
Building on the success of CSI Academy, the Nursing Workforce Solutions program seeks to further scale the impact by adding a train-the-trainer component, so health systems can more easily infuse learning throughout their systems.
