The future of healthcare and improved patient outcomes relies on a competent workforce and a prepared talent pipeline. Three in four employers cite challenges in hiring, and the healthcare industry is most impacted by the talent shortage. Providing high-quality healthcare is dependent on high-quality education pathways and economic opportunities for those entering the field.
Healthcare advocates should be more readily focused on prioritizing workforce development and education that is skills-based, innovative and meaningful to learners, job seekers and employers. All of us depend on healthcare organizations and the people they employ.
