HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH

MESSAGE FROM NETWORK CHIEF NURSE EXECUTIVE THERESA BRODRICK

Reflecting back on 2022, I am so incredibly proud of the Hackensack Meridian Health nursing team. As showcased in the pages that follow, our nurses embody what the nursing profession is renowned for - compassion, innovation, strength and selfless dedication.

Paving the way for greater autonomy and engagement, 2022 was a year where we ensured the voice of the nurse was front and center. From our Clinical Nurse Gathering and annual research conference to consistent rounding and committee meetings, the robust and thoughtful discussions amongst the nursing team over the last year will continue to make a difference in our practice and our well-being. As Network Chief Nurse Executive, I have remained committed to shadowing at all of our campuses to stay connected to our mission and purpose and to see firsthand what our nurses are experiencing every day. This is always a joy for me and offers a constant reminder of why Hackensack Meridian is one of the most recognized health care systems in the country for nursing excellence.

As you will see in this report, our nurses consistently illustrate their unique competence and innovative spirit. Their educational and professional achievements and clinical and quality research offer new pathways to patient safety, enhanced care and improved outcomes. And by extending their reach into our communities, our nurses are dedicated to improving health care beyond the hospital setting.

You will also read about our nursing philanthropy effort, which launched in June 2022 and is already making a significant impact. This initiative will help to ensure we have a pipeline of new, qualified nurses through our New Career Initiative, and will also support the continued growth and development of our existing team through our new Institute for Nursing Leadership and Practice Excellence. With the successful launch of Hospital at Home at JFK University Medical Center and Jersey Shore University Medical Center, and the virtual nursing pilot underway at Ocean University Medical Center, we are advancing new practice models for the delivery of care while effectively addressing the workforce needs of today and the future.

We have worked hard over the last year to identify and implement a range of initiatives that will help our nurses thrive as they continue their career journey and maximize the work-life balance that is particularly critical in our line of work. Our newly unveiled 2023-2025 nursing strategic plan emphasizes all of these important areas and will serve as a blueprint for us in the years ahead. It builds on our foundation of nursing excellence and innovation and maintains our deep commitment to humanistic care.

When I think back on the accomplishments achieved by the nursing team in 2022, I cannot help but look forward with hope and optimism for nursing at Hackensack Meridian. The work of our nursing team is saving lives and transforming health care. You are truly making a difference.
