symplr Unveils Nurse Executive Advisory Council

In a significant move to enhance healthcare practices, symplr, renowned for its enterprise healthcare operations software, recently announced the formation of its Nurse Executive Advisory Council. This initiative coincides with the upcoming ANCC Magnet® Conference, being held from October 8 to 10, 2025. The newly established council will be chaired by Susan Grant, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, the Chief Clinical Officer at symplr. It aims to unite seasoned nursing executives to discuss pressing challenges faced by healthcare providers, ensuring comprehensive solutions that improve clinical integrity and patient outcomes.

Addressing Pressing Challenges in Nursing

The Nurse Executive Advisory Council is tasked with tackling a series of crucial issues that have surfaced in the modern healthcare landscape. With an alarming prediction that 600,000 nurses may exit the profession by 2027, and additional reports indicating that 85% of clinicians seek greater involvement in decision-making processes, the urgency to address these concerns is more pronounced than ever. The council will provide valuable insights into various domains, including clinician well-being, effective staffing practices, and the integration of new technology to optimize clinical workflows.

Susan Grant emphasized the vital role nurses play in the healthcare sector, stating, "Nurses are the backbone of healthcare and among the most innovative professionals in the field. By creating the Nurse Executive Advisory Council, we're ensuring that nurse leaders' perspectives are central to how symplr designs solutions that give nurses time back, support their well-being, and ultimately help them sustain excellence in patient care."

A highlight of the presentation will be the acquisition of Smart Square®, recognized as the Best in KLAS for nurse and staff scheduling solution.

Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with symplr's clinical leadership team, including Susan Grant and Ali Morin, MSN, RN-BC, Chief Nursing Informatics Officer. The discussions will center around how symplr's solutions can empower nurses throughout their Magnet Journey®, enhancing staffing decisions while maintaining high standards of patient care.
