Of course, we don’t know, but we know that we have to take care of it ourselves.
In the meantime, a new threat from the Platform Work Model is emerging on the horizon: more sectors of the economy are being included in it.
The Roosevelt Institute published an analysis by Katie J. Wells and Fundy Ustek Spilda, on the phenomenon of the Uberization of the nursing profession.
The authors point out that companies providing on-demand nursing services (such as CareRev, Clipboard Health, ShiftKey or ShiftMed) promised hospitals more control over expenses and more flexibility for nurses. However, as it turns out, Platforms, by forcing nurses to work for less pay, do not provide them with certainty about the schedule and the amount or nature of work, while at the same time not taking any responsibility for the safety of employees. And, of course, what was to be expected: this work model endangers the health of patients, placing nurses in unfamiliar clinical environments without procedures for implementation or training in new facilities.
