The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the nation's premier health care credentialing organization, has designated BayCare as the first and only health care system in Florida to receive its new designation for Well-Being Excellence™. The designation recognizes BayCare's extraordinary commitment to its team members, including its more than 10,000 nurses.
"We are honored that BayCare has been recognized as a national leader and pioneer in promoting well-being and resilience," said Trish Shucoski, DNP, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, BayCare's chief nurse executive. "This award is an exciting way to demonstrate that our team members feel supported, valued and equipped to thrive."
BayCare is one of five organizations nationally to receive the new credential. The Well-Being Excellence™ designation evaluates and enhances well-being programs within health care organizations and other settings that employ nurses, using an evidence-based framework to evaluate:
- An organization's support for the factors that contribute to a team member's well-being, such as safety measures, professional growth opportunities, wellness programs and more.
- The impact of well-being programs on the work environment, interprofessional teams and overall health of the organization.
ANCC created the new designation in response to the urgent need for effective well-being programs to support health care professionals. Nurse burnout is a significant issue in health care, with 46% of health care workers reporting feelings of burnout in 2022, up from 32% in 2018, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"This prestigious national recognition is a symbol to our patients, our community and our industry that we are deeply committed to the health and well-being of our team members," said Nikki Daily, BayCare's chief team resources officer.
