In 2024, the Washington Center for Nursing (WCN) published Prioritizing Nursing Well-Being to Strengthen the Workforce: Washington Burnout Survey and Next Steps. Essential to retention of the nursing workforce, workgroups were established to identify key strategies in 2025. This report summarizes action plans and key strategies for five workgroups. Two work groups, Compliance & Regulation and Technology Utilization, combined efforts to create one action plan. The Measurement & Assessment Workgroup collaborated to create evaluation approaches for the resulting four action plans.
The WCN is a member of the National Academy of Medicine Changemaker Campaign. The 520 organizations to date aim to advance the National Plan Priority Areas and spark a national movement to support health workforce well-being. What it means to be a change maker is to affirm a commitment to and reflect on their organizational progress toward institutionalizing well-being as a long-term value.
Since the release of the 2024 Nursing Burnout Survey Report, WCN has convened statewide workgroups to identify strategic, evidence-informed solutions to strengthen workplace well-being for nurses across Washington.
