As the Joint Commission rolls out its new National Performance Goals (NPGs), especially the one focused on staffing readiness, it’s becoming clear that this isn’t just about filling shifts. It’s about proving that your health system can flex and respond in real time to patient needs. That means having a plan — and a pool — ready! Maintaining internal resource pools (IRPs) or flexible staffing models isn’t just a “nice-to-have” anymore. It’s how hospitals will demonstrate their readiness to the Joint Commission and ensure safe, high-quality care when demand surges. At DirectShifts, we’ve been helping health systems build exactly these kinds of agile staffing pipelines, so they can stay compliant, reduce burnout and provide great care no matter what the day brings. If this is on your mind, text me — happy to chat about how we can help. https://lnkd.in/gMPDbVhB
