| AMN Healthcare: Three Steps to Building an Effective Internal Agency Turnovers, vacancies, and the constrained access to talent have been challenges for healthcare organizations for the past three years. Today, in efforts to control costs, and help ensure greater control and access to flexible staffing solutions, some health systems are establishing internal agencies. Organizations that find success with internal agencies will be the ones that take a strategic approach to its formation, as well as leverage the necessary technologies to support all components. |
| Newport Healthcare: The Mental Health Impact of Cyberbullying As kids head back to school, parents need to be on the alert for signs of bullying. But cyberbullying—intimidation and harassment via social media, texting, and gaming platforms—is even more common than verbal or physical bullying. About half of US teens have been bullied or harassed online, and research shows that victims have higher rates of depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm, and suicidal behavior. Parents and healthcare providers need to understand the extent of the mental health impact of cyberbullying and learn strategies to help teens protect themselves. |

As cultural attitudes shift and health equity becomes an increasingly high priority, every participant in the healthcare continuum can reexamine the role they play in supporting the LGBTQ+ community. |
| PYA: In These Times, Hospitals Need Answers, Not Solutions This white paper aims at helping providers adapt in the face of continuing inflation, stagnant reimbursement, and staffing shortages. Rather than suggesting possible operational improvement initiatives, PYA addresses the heart of the matter: developing the organizational resilience to pursue care delivery transformation, productivity improvement, and technology enablement. “Resilience is not a trait; it is a learned skill. In our experience, organizational resilience is the product of culture.” The paper examines the way different cultures manage change and how to effectively pursue improvement initiatives in these different cultures. |
