 National Daily Hospital Executive Briefing Tuesday December 9th, 2025

Today: 

• Hospital workforce risk is shifting from “future concern” to a present-tense emergency as turnover, burnout, and intent-to-leave numbers climb.
• Operating Room (OR) efficiency and staffing are now among the top cost drivers and margin levers, not just a throughput issue.
• Executives can stabilize staff and surgical services by linking retention economics, OR block utilization, and flexible work models in one integrated plan.
