Describe solutions implemented at five other hospitals in the US that were dealing with these same issues.

The hospital maintains the only 24hour emergency department in the area and an “EXTENDED HOURS” urgent care clinic.

The retention rate on nurses is 61%, compared to 65% nationwide. Many of the nursing staff find the work too physically demanding and have a feeling of emotional burnout as well.
