A Health Professions Center of Excellence (HPCE) is the gold standard of recruitment and retention strategies. A handful of hospitals across the country have already developed this comprehensive, recruitment and retention plan built on a foundation of education and service excellence. A HPCE combines nursing education partnerships , professional development, nursing leadership programs and world class customer service education under one umbrella. The model is rapidly catching on as participating hospitals are reducing turnover and enjoying vacancy rates of 2-5%. In addition, private donors and granting agencies love to support dynamic and innovative projects that improve patient care quality and employee satisfaction.
