The U.S. healthcare system is at a tipping point. Staffing shortages, rising patient acuity, and increased demand for flexible, tech-enabled care are pushing providers to rethink how care is delivered. A recent survey of nurse executives highlights that the future of care isn’t just about filling shifts—it’s about building smarter, more sustainable future-ready care delivery models.
For hospitals and health systems, this means letting go of outdated structures and embracing innovation. At 3B Healthcare, we work hand-in-hand with forward-thinking medical facilities and clinicians to help power this transition with compassionate, tech-driven staffing solutions.
The Challenge Facing Healthcare Leaders in 2025
Healthcare delivery models that thrived a decade ago are now buckling under modern pressures. According to the “FutureCare Nursing 2025” survey from Wolters Kluwer, top nurse leaders cite systemic stress points that demand new ways of delivering care:
- Chronic workforce shortages are making it harder to maintain quality care around the clock.
- Rising patient complexity and acuity are overwhelming traditional nurse-to-patient ratios.
- Burnout among clinical staff is reaching historic levels—especially when outdated workflows persist.
- Healthcare facilities are struggling to match staffing with fluctuating demand, often reacting too late.
As Syl Trepanier, DNP, RN, and chief nursing officer at Providence, put it:
“It doesn’t matter how good we are at hiring or retaining nurses; we’re simply never going to have enough of them if we keep working the way we do right now.”
Future-Ready Care Delivery Models That Actually Work in 2025
To solve these challenges, nurse executives are adopting forward-thinking delivery models designed to balance clinical excellence with workforce flexibility. These are the top five care models U.S. healthcare systems are prioritizing this year:
1. Home Health Nursing (71%)
Providing care in patients’ homes improves outcomes while freeing up hospital beds. It’s also attractive to nurses seeking flexible, lower-stress environments.
2. Internal Float Pools (68%)
Creating a cross-trained internal float pool allows facilities to respond quickly to surges in demand without relying heavily on travel staff or overtime.
3. Virtual Nursing (66%)
Virtual RNs support bedside teams remotely, offering documentation help, patient education, and triage—boosting efficiency without exhausting in-person staff.
4. Telehealth Nursing (66%)
Beyond COVID-era usage, telehealth remains essential for managing chronic conditions, follow-ups, and mental health care—especially in rural areas.
5. Multidisciplinary Care Teams (61%)
This model ensures patients are managed holistically, with coordinated input from physicians, nurses, therapists, and social workers—reducing redundancy and improving care plans.
💡 Bonus Insight: The most in-demand roles supporting these models include nurse informaticists, telehealth RNs, float pool nurses, and nurse educators with virtual care experience.
