In the first episode of Well, Staffed, Health-e CEO Scott Wilson and COO Adrian Jenkins unpack what really happens once a hospital sets its workforce budget, and how the ambitions of the National Nursing Workforce Strategy play out at the level of one ward and one roster.

In this episode:

• Why being under budget on permanent staff can hide a more expensive workforce, once overtime, casuals and agency are counted
• Where Nursing and Finance most often see the workforce differently, and why
• Why FTE tells you headcount, not capability, and what else belongs in the picture
• Moving from reporting the variance to understanding the drift early enough to fix it
• How rigid funding models can box nurses into task-based roles instead of letting them work to their full scope
