Health care workforce crisis: the industry cannot rely on hiring alone to address current workforce shortages
Despite recent hiring gains, many health care organizations are still struggling to meet staffing needs.
Health care is in the midst of an ongoing workforce crisis as the demand for care is outpacing the supply of available labor.
Recently featured in NASDAQ, SullivanCotter’s President and CEO, Ted Chien, highlights how hospitals and health systems can meet the challenge of building a better and more sustainable pipeline of talent through:
- Smarter technology: Make the path to care delivery easier for providers by helping to reduce burnout, alleviate after-hours work and streamline clinical experience operations for students
- Resilient teams: Support staff through equitable compensation, robust benefits packages, and a focus on physician and mental health
- Excellence in leadership: Recruit and retain executives capable of delivering change in such extraordinary times
