How Data Drops Nurse Turnover Rates

Nurse turnover is a widespread issue that drives up hospital costs and affects patient care. To combat this, Omid Razmpour created and deployed a dynamic modeling dashboard across a major health system as part of his PhD. The result: Turnover dropped to pre-COVID levels, cutting the need for contract nurses by 80 percent.
