Healthcare leaders are under more pressure than ever to deliver better outcomes with limited resources. In this recent op-ed from Stephanie Mercado on ACHE's blog, our ROI-Q Report demonstrates that aligning workforce strategies with Quality goals isn’t just good practice—it’s a smart financial decision.

From large health systems to small community facilities, we’ve seen that intentional workforce planning tied to Quality outcomes strengthens both care delivery and the bottom line.

It’s more than an operational choice—it’s a commitment to better care and sustainable performance.

Thanks to ACHE for sharing this important POV.
