In healthcare, your people are your greatest asset. Nurses, billers, coders, schedulers, and support staff don’t just keep the system running—they directly impact patient outcomes, satisfaction, and your bottom line. So when someone leaves, it’s more than just an open position—it’s a disruption. Turnover in healthcare isn’t just a staffing issue. It’s a financial one. And for many providers, it’s quietly draining resources, increasing risk, and making it harder to grow. 

 

In this blog, we’ll break down the real cost of turnover—and how MedCore Solutions offers a smarter, more sustainable staffing solution to keep your practice or facility stable, efficient, and thriving. 

 

The Hidden Price of Losing a Healthcare Employee 

You might think turnover in healthcare is just about replacing someone who leaves. But the actual cost is much higher. It includes: 

• Recruiting and hiring costs (job postings, recruiter fees, onboarding) 

• Training new staff (time spent by managers, decreased productivity during ramp-up) 

• Lost productivity (it can take months for a new employee to reach full efficiency) 

• Burnout for remaining staff (increased workload can lead to more resignations) 

• Patient dissatisfaction (disruptions in care or billing mistakes affect trust) 

 

According to the 2025 NSI National Health Care Retention & RN Staffing Report: 

• The average cost of turnover for a single bedside RN is $61,110 

• It takes an average of 3 months to fill a clinical role 

• Hospitals lose $3.9 million to $5.7 million annually due to nurse turnover alone 

 

As of 2024, hospitals in the U.S. reported an average staff turnover rate of 18.3%, according to data from Statista—putting cash flow at risk. Turnover among bedside RNs, for example, is costly because it disrupts care, increases workload for remaining staff, and drives up recruiting and training expenses. While remote nurses can’t replace bedside care, they can reduce the pressure on in-person staff and help hospitals operate more efficiently and sustainably.

 

Why Turnover Hurts More in Healthcare 

In many industries, a vacant role might slow down workflow or delay projects. In healthcare, it can delay critical care, increase errors, and affect compliance. A missing nurse means longer wait times, a missing biller means lost revenue, and a missing coder could lead to denied claims and compliance issues. 

 

Worse, constant turnover in healthcare takes a toll on morale. When your team is always training replacements or picking up extra work, engagement suffers—and the risk of additional resignations increases. 

 

It’s a vicious cycle, and many providers are caught in it. 

 

Why Traditional Hiring Isn’t Working Anymore 

Hiring is harder than it’s ever been. A national shortage of healthcare workers—especially in administrative roles—is pushing salaries higher while shrinking the talent pool. 

 

Posting jobs on Indeed or handing it off to a local recruiter isn’t cutting it. You’re competing with hospitals, large networks, telehealth startups, and remote-first companies for the same candidates. 

 

And even when you find someone, turnover remains high. Many candidates jump ship for slightly better pay, a more flexible schedule, or less stressful work. 

 

So what’s the alternative?
