Newsday: The Looming Hospital Capacity Crisis and Nurse Violence with Philipp von Gilsa

Listen Later
June 16, 2025: Philipp von Gilsa, CEO of Kontakt.io, joins Bill Russell for the news. What happens when America's hospitals reach dangerous occupancy thresholds that could make them unable to function properly? And as workplace violence against healthcare workers spikes, what combination of technology and process can effectively protect staff?

As healthcare leaders face these converging challenges, how can they remain focused on core priorities?
