Case Study: Nurse Retention Healthcare System achieves 7% average nurse retention increase and up to $850K annual savings with ShiftWizard

+7% Avg. Increase for Enterprise Health Systems Using ShiftWizard Staff Scheduling Software

Nurse Retention Healthcare System, facing high nurse turnover and the costs of replacing staff, sought a way to improve retention and scheduling flexibility. They partnered with ShiftWizard and implemented ShiftWizard’s staff scheduling software and self-scheduling model across departments to address staffing stability and nurse satisfaction.

ShiftWizard deployed full self-scheduling in selected departments and over five years compared cohorts with and without self-scheduling, driving an average +7% retention improvement for enterprise systems. In three tracked health systems this translated to 14 nurses retained per year (Health System A, 900+ beds, ~$850,000 saved), 5 RNs retained per year (Health System B, 700+ beds, ~$300,000 saved), and 3 nurses retained per year (Health System C, 200+ beds, ~$180,000 saved), demonstrating measurable cost savings from ShiftWizard’s solution.
