The Healthcare Workforce: Driving Transformation Today and Beyond No abstract available

Managing Today’s Workforce to Meet Tomorrow’s Challenges SUMMARY Healthcare is facing a world of change. New regulations, rapid advances in information technology, shifts in payment from volume to value, consumer demands for better access to care, increased public scrutiny of outcomes, patient safety concerns, and business consolidation all add increasing degrees of difficulty to the work that healthcare leaders do. Effective management of a diverse workforce can make a significant impact on all of these challenges. This article covers four aspects of workforce management: talent, leadership, technology, and culture. Each is described, along with tactics to address it. The recommendations are based on both my research of human capital management and my experience as a senior human resource officer and healthcare executive, now with the nation’s third-largest nonprofit health system, Catholic Health Initiatives.

Addressing Workforce Challenges in Healthcare Calls for Proactive Leadership SUMMARY The challenges that healthcare leaders face are many, and workforce challenges are among the most important. For most healthcare entities, the workforce is their largest expense. Fortunately, many issues can be avoided with proper planning and review. Workforce planning is both a science (analysis) and an art (execution). It comprises a set of business processes for analyzing the supply and demand of talent in an organization and determining how that supply and demand might change over time. Turnover rates, retirement projections, and retention data are some of the tools commonly used in the workforce planning process. Because the increase in healthcare jobs is expected to outpace growth in all other fields and industries, recruitment and retention will be matters of special interest to all healthcare leaders during the next several years.
