📣 New on the blog from CHCM CEO Gen Guanci!
Nursing culture is at a pivotal moment- and workforce stabilization alone isn’t recovery.

In her latest blog, "Current State of Nursing Culture: Why Workforce Stabilization Isn’t Enough and What Leaders Must Do Next", Gen Guanci explores how culture drives retention, engagement, psychological safety, and patient outcomes- and why leaders must act intentionally to rebuild healthy cultural foundations.

👉 From burnout and staffing stress to psychological safety and professional voice, this piece calls on leaders to move beyond reactive fixes to proactive, measurable culture strategies.

💭 If 99.9% Were Good Enough… Is It?
99.9% sounds exceptional- but in health care, that tiny 0.1% gap can mean thousands of patients harmed or lives lost each year.

🔍 In this thought-provoking blog from Creative Health Care Management, CEO Gen Guanci challenges the idea that “good enough” is truly good enough for patient safety. She breaks down:
• Why that last 0.1% matters in real human terms
• The preventable harm that still persists in hospitals globally
• What shifting our mindset toward zero avoidable harm could mean for care quality

👉 Read the full post and rethink what safe care really means: https://chcm.com/news-events/if-99-9-were-good-enough/

I think it is valuable to re-visit every year as some of the 1% that isn’t done, or done incorrectly, can have lifelong effects.
