In This Episode

In this episode of the Coffee Break Podcast, Dr. Renee Thompson sits down with Dr. Ecoee Rooney, Chief Nursing Officer at Indicator Sciences and nationally recognized expert in workplace civility. Ecoee shares how her team is transforming how we address burnout, turnover, and workload imbalance in nursing – through data. Together, they explore the potential of analytics to support nurse leaders, identify struggling team members, and reduce burnout-driven behaviors before they escalate.

Ecoee breaks down how her team uses real-time clinical data to help nurse leaders pinpoint workload imbalances, understand patterns of burnout, and initiate supportive – not punitive – interventions. Her CareFX platform and Quick Sync method are empowering leaders to focus their time where it matters most.

If you’ve ever wondered how to truly support your nurses and make data meaningful in real-time leadership, this episode is for you.
