Strengthening Vermont's Healthcare System: Insights from High-Quality LNAs
Vermont hospitals face care delays as discharged patients remain in beds due to lack of rehabilitation and long-term care options. A statewide study identifies Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs) in Skilled Nursing Facilities as crucial to solving this crisis.​
The Vermont Health Care Association-sponsored research recommends strengthening LNA hiring, training, and retention practices, along with implementing flexible discharge teams to improve patient flow between hospitals and SNFs.
​
The study reveals that LNAs who stay in their roles for at least a year report high job satisfaction and pride in their emotionally rewarding work caring for patients.
