Emergency Departments have struggled for years with a vicious cycle of high volumes and low resources. But the dynamics of post-pandemic healthcare have created a new negative loop in the ED:
- ED overcrowding and nurse burnout have led to high staff turnover.
- High turnover has resulted in a loss of veteran nurses and a high percentage of inexperienced leaders.
- New leaders do not have the resources to address ED boarders, ED violence and other challenges.
- Unresolved problems lead to further turnover among ED and trauma nurses.
Our June 2023 webinar addresses these challenges by showing how even inexperienced leaders can interrupt the negative cycle and start building a strong emergency care organization.

Emergency Department Leadership: Breaking Out of the New Vicious Cycle [PPT Presentation]
During this one-hour session, three healthcare leadership experts share strategies that will help you:
- Replace overwhelm with a clear picture of the skills you need to thrive as a leader
- Run brief team huddles that rapidly refocus staff on taking positive steps toward concrete goals.
- Work effectively with support services, replacing crisis communication with shared solutions
- Break ED and trauma teams out of the burnout-turnover-burnout cycle.
The speakers push back against the concept of “resilience” in healthcare and instead explain a leadership model based on helping ED and trauma nurses replenish their sense of meaning and purpose.
