Mind the Gap—Repairing the US Health Care Workforce

Location: Online

Registration Deadline: October 27, 2021

Overview

            

Thanks to the underwriting support of HAPevolve and Qualivis, a HAPevolve endorsed partner, this webinar is complimentary for all HAP members.

The health care community entered the COVID-19 pandemic with an already challenging labor market where hospitals were reporting a nine percent nursing shortage nationally. We called on the existing workforce to perform the herculean task of caring for communities in the height of a pandemic and are now facing unprecedented levels of increased burnout and turnover. This sets the stage for an extreme supply and demand imbalance.

To rebuild, hospitals must explore the experiences of their staff and create thoughtful strategies to repair the workforce. This thought-provoking session will explore fresh research and help leaders create effective retention strategies for the post-pandemic workforce.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of the session, participants will:

  • Understand the cause and effect of inadequate health care staffing
  • Gain insight to challenges related to health care staffing during the pandemic
  • Describe recent legislation supporting workforce safety and discuss emerging legislative priorities related to Pennsylvania’s health care workforce
