This paper is designed to continue the conversation around the concepts discussed in AHA's "Hospitals and Care Systems of the Future", and the AHA Workforce Center's "Workforce Roles in a Redesigned Primary Care Model" and "Reconfiguring the Bedside Care Team of the Future" and explore them in greater depth.
The health care sector has traditionally been an economic mainstay, providing stability and even growth during times of recession. Health care added an average of nearly 20 thousand jobs per month over the last decade. The goods and services hospitals purchase from other businesses create additional economic value for the community. With these 鈥渞ipple effects鈥 included, each hospital job supports about two more jobs and every dollar spent by a hospital supports roughly $2.30 of additional business activity.
The U.S. health care system faces growing challenges鈥攖he U.S. population is aging at a rapid rate; health care reform is expected to bring millions more patients into the system; and there are anticipated shortages in numbers of trained health care professionals to care for these patients. Therefore, the need to start now to develop more effective and efficient workforce planning models (WPMs) for health care organizations is critical.
It is important to work together to design more value-driven, primary, health and wellness-based services. We need to begin today to evaluate and redesign our primary care models and approaches.
