Pandemic challenges, demographic shifts and other broader economic trends have created a healthcare staffing shortage of epic proportions. Labor costs are rising and people to fill the necessary roles are shrinking. This program will look at the staffing challenges through the lens of creative strategies such as shifting working hours in various ways, creating new types of workers/roles within systems, improving the educational pipeline and technology solutions. With Massachusetts being an expensive state, how can health care organizations attract and retain talent to propel their organizations through this challenging time while building a strong talent pipeline?
