Tuesdays at Ten: Closing the OT Gap for Workforce ROI

Join us as we discuss key drivers of overtime and New York-specific regulatory and funding factors. We’ll also share best practice strategies, such as improved scheduling, flexible staffing pools, recruitment and retention investments, and technology use, to help reduce dependence on overtime while still maintaining care quality.
