Introducing the Joslin Insight App.

Healthcare market insight +
Direct realtime feedback

Want to improve outdated engagement surveys with meaningful realtime data? The Joslin Insight App tells you what your staff thinks today, not months from now.

As an unbiased partner, we provide realtime employee feedback to help you make decisions today, not months from now. Listening to the frontline is the #1 way to improve satisfaction and retention.

Trusted by leading healthcare organizations:

Meeting the needs of our clients for 30 years.

The Joslin Insight Experience

Understand the frontline better than ever before.

From our recent studies of nearly 55,000 nurses. ancillary staff, nurse leaders, and healthcare executives, workforce satisfaction and retention were identified as healthcare’s top challenges. 

When leaders and frontline staff were asked what would create a positive work environment and improve shortages, both indicated listening to the voice of the staff and responding to their needs.

Data That Matters

Key insights into trends, behavior, and motivation.

We have focused on understanding people’s needs for over two decades. We provide unbiased market insights and VoE employee insights, written reports, and data visualizations to keep you informed.

Direct Realtime Feedback

Changing the game.

The average 300-bed hospital loses around $12M annually to RN turnover. According to an MIT Sloan School of Management study, the solution is consistently listening to and acting on feedback. But failing to respond to the feedback will lose employees’ trust.

While research highlights a clear path to improving retention, busy leaders struggle to find time to effectively engage their staff. This is why we built our app to help leaders quickly gather direct realtime feedback. If feeding tubes are broken and bassinets aren’t locking, you can fix them today.

We provide a live stream of direct feedback and data analytics, assessing the frontline to help leaders make realtime decisions.

We offer a data-driven approach to continuous improvement. Unlimited surveys are a happy feature of our solution. There’s no reason to limit feedback.

We make implementation quick and easy, requiring zero IT resources. Our system is ready when you are.

We provide powerful ANCC Magnet® metrics for designated Magnet® institutions and for those considering the journey.*

We help monitor your journey by continuously analyzing data across all seven Magnet® categories in realtime. It’s the best insight for the best leaders!

* Joslin Insight worked collaboratively with the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® to support the 2023 Magnet® Application Manual guidelines and created a crosswalk of survey questions that meet the seven category areas for registered nurse (RN) satisfaction/nurse (RN) engagement. The question crosswalk was approved by the ANCC Magnet Program in November 2022. Magnet® is a registered trademark of the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

Travel Nurses As A Sustainable Solution To The Nurse Staff Retention Crisis

The American Nurses Foundation’s Two-Year Impact Assessment that Joslin Insight helped conduct featured in the Washington Post: Last year, the American Nurses Foundation and the American Nurses Association reported the results of its Covid-19 Impact Assessment Survey, which found 52% of nurses were considering leaving their jobs due to insufficient staffing, a negative impact on their personal health and well-being, and an inability for them to deliver quality care. In addition, “60% of acute care nurses report feeling burned out, and 75% report feeling stressed, frustrated, and exhausted.”

Why are nurses quitting? Ask the nurse no hospital will hire.

The American Nurses Foundation’s Two-Year Impact Assessment that Joslin Insight helped conduct featured in the Washington Post: Before the pandemic, between a third and half of nurses and physicians already reported symptoms of burnout.

This discussion led to more discussions with healthcare leaders across the country on how they are reimagining care delivery models. These discussions, along with Quint’s conversations with ANA’s Katie Boston-Leary, PhD, prompted his new company, Healthcare Plus Solutions Group, to fund a study on new and alternative models of care.

AONL to honor nursing leaders, others for contributions to field

Early in 2020, Joslin Insight partnered with AONL to study the pandemic’s impact on nurse leaders. Their study was the first to identify the emotional toll and need for a national effort to support nurse leaders. Their research evolved into a yearlong, three-part longitudinal study revealing challenges on staffing shortages and nurse leader well-being, and garnering attention across the country.

Our story

Joslin Insight is the remarkable culmination of years of dedicated research and technological advancements. Our journey began back in 1993 as Kaleidoscope, focusing on consumer behavior and gathering market insight through snail mail and pre-paid envelopes. With the tech boom in Seattle, we embraced the internet era, transitioning to Joslin Marketing in 1999, utilizing dial-up email and text messages for data collection.

A decade later, we made a significant shift into healthcare and quickly established ourselves as a trusted authority in healthcare market insight. Another transformative phase occurred in 2022, amid the pandemic, as we renamed ourselves Joslin Insight and embarked on developing a cloud service to capture realtime frontline workforce data. This crucial initiative aimed to support nurses and healthcare leaders during these unprecedented times.

Throughout these transformations, our core values and relationships have remained constant. The voice of the workforce and our valued clients continue to be the driving force behind our endeavors. We are committed to collecting impactful data and producing meaningful work that fuels positive change.

We believe in personal service and building lasting relationships.
