#WeAreHealthcare: Workforce Strategies with the AHA Talent Scan

As the field continues to move forward from the COVID-19 pandemic into the new normal, we understand more clearly than ever that our dedicated workforce is the backbone of our health care system. Delivering quality health care through ongoing and emerging challenges depends on our ability to recruit, train, retain and support a resilient and flexible workforce. Hospitals’ and health systems’ ability to recruit, train, retain and support health care workers in the current environment will be shaped by several trends transforming health care. These range from fundamental shifts in delivery models, including widespread telemedicine adoption, to accelerated efforts to reduce health care disparities, to continued pressure on hospitals and health systems to reestablish economic sustainability. Today we hear the perspectives of Elisa Arespacochaga, vice president, clinical affairs and workforce of the American Hospital Association, and Robyn Begley, senior vice president & chief nursing officer of the American Hospital Association and CEO of the American Organization for Nursing Leadership, as they share valuable workforce insights you can use to guide your organization forward during this time of uncertainty and continued transformation.
