Session Abstract

Health systems across the U.S. continue to face unprecedented nursing shortages, rising labor costs, and burnout-driven attrition. While recruitment incentives and staffing models remain critical, forward-thinking organizations are increasingly turning to technology as a strategic lever to attract, engage, and retain nursing talent.

This session explores how intelligent clinical technologies, optimized workflows, and data-driven insights are reshaping the nursing experience—from onboarding through bedside care—and becoming a key differentiator in nurse recruitment and retention strategies. Executive leaders and frontline innovators will share real-world examples of how investments in medical technologies have helped them attract and keep high-performing clinicians.

Attendees will leave with actionable insights on how aligning technology strategy with workforce priorities can transform nursing from a retention risk into a competitive advantage.
