Addressing the healthcare workforce crisis
The U.S. is already facing significant healthcare worker shortages, and the number of healthcare workers needs to increase dramatically to meet demand in the coming years. Some studies predict a shortage of more than 400,000 home health aides and 29,400 nurse practitioners by 2025. There will also be shortages in other healthcare professions. This situation, though not new, is becoming increasingly dire, and there is no easy solution. There are many different responses and plans that seek to address healthcare worker shortages through workforce development and changing care models.
- Given staff shortages and increased staffing costs, how are organizations leveraging technology to better manage “front door” services, such as appointment scheduling, registration and check in?
- What creative means can be applied to “back office” staffing to ensure adequate support for providers?
- What programs can an organization implement to provide care management support for their value population?
- How do you create internal training programs for your workforce?
- What are the optimal staffing ratios in an ambulatory setting and how do you transition to these ideal levels?
