Retention as a Strategic Investment in Health Systems

Advocate Health’s case frames retention as business and capital-allocation strategy: it cites a $1.2 million physician-replacement estimate and expansion of a tailored effort from physicians to APPs and about 42,000 nurses. Separate Korn Ferry-sponsored healthcare redesign coverage reports burnout and retention pressure, technology-related results, and limited strategic involvement by Talent Acquisition in role design; the findings need scrutiny and measured outcomes remain unclear. Measurement across roles and sites is the key scaling question.
