Financial Constraints worsening for providers, government and other payers◦ How can workforce strategies help address very high costs?◦ Align with social/economic issues v. silo’d approach
Health Informatics – ◦ Including specific occupations and impact on the health industry and
workforce broadly Shortages and competition for workers increasing due to
expanded access to care◦ Creatively address needs, especially in very small communities
