Ep 100: The Measurable Impact of Investing in Frontline Leaders

On this episode of The Healthcare Plus Podcast, Dan Collard is joined by Carla Yost and Dannette Staples from Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma to discuss the work they’re doing in development with a specific focus on charge nurses and their Nurse Practice Council. Carla is the Chief Nursing Officer at Hillcrest. With 15 years of senior leadership experience, she is passionate about developing leaders and giving them a voice. Dannette is the Director of Nursing for Workforce Development and Performance Improvement. She has over 24 years of healthcare experience and shares Carla’s passion for frontline leadership development. Carla discusses how she recognized that leaders were seeking development opportunities within the organization and why she proposed Precision Leadership Development™ as the solution through the Nurse Practice Council. Then, Dannette shares her experience leading the orthopedics unit during challenging times, including the staff shortages experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. When she decided to invest in her charge nurses by mentoring them individually and involving them in the decision-making process, she began to see extraordinary results. Through this investment in leadership development, Dannette’s unit has seen: Engagement scores increase from 77% in 2021 to 92% in 2023 Turnover reduced from 27% to 4% on the orthopedic unit Net Promoter Scores improved from 39% to 75% Length of stay reduced from 1.62 to 1.29 Falls reduced from 4.33 to 2.79 Dannette and Carla attribute all of these results to their focus on the mid-level, “boots-on-the-ground”, frontline leaders and emphasize the need for investment and development to drive positive change in healthcare organizations.
