Our Latest Blog - Addressing Healthcare Worker Shortages: Insights from Keynote Speaking Across States

By: Van Ton-Quinlivan, CEO, Futuro Health

Connecticut, Texas, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Wyoming, New York – This month, I added  Florida to the list of states where I've had the pleasure of delivering a keynote on the critical shortage of healthcare workers and raising visibility on the imperative to grow untapped talent from within our local communities. Even with the distinctive personalities and cultures of each state, the challenges they face are remarkably similar.  Nationwide, 75% of healthcare facilities report critical workforce gaps, and 76.6M+ Americans live in designated Health Professional Shortage Areas.  Across these in-state engagements, I offer organizations an alternative and innovative approach for growing their talent pool effectively.  My key message? Rather than tackling the challenge alone, workforce development is, after all, a team sport. There is power in partnership.

What brought me to Miami? I met with leaders from Miami Dade College to share news on Futuro Health’s expansion into Florida and Connecticut thanks to sponsorship from the Elisabeth C. DeLuca Foundation. And, I delivered a keynote on the topic of innovation for an audience of non-profit organizations, including colleges, universities, hospitals, and research institutions, gathered by the financial services firm TIAA.

Episode #104: Fostering a Multidisciplinary Approach to Improving Healthcare

There’s a growing consensus that the best patient care is delivered by multidisciplinary teams, but as you’ll hear on this episode of WorkforceRx, generating solutions to problems facing healthcare and medical education can benefit from the same interprofessional approach. That’s what our guest, Dr. Patricia Cuff, has learned leading the Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine with a membership that includes academic experts and practitioners from many specialties. “Everyone has a voice in the Forum and everyone is considered an important part of the team. This is actually quite rare in education as well as healthcare, where everything tends to be much more siloed.” One of the top concerns identified in workshops and larger Forum convenings is a lack of required education in geriatrics even though the growing elderly population presents a major challenge to the health system. Other key concerns highlighted by Forum members include incompatibility of electronic health records, the high cost of education and provider burnout. Join Futuro Health CEO Van Ton-Quinlivan for a look at what solutions Forum members are identifying for these and other problems and what’s changing, and needs to change, in the education of healthcare providers to create a future with more team-based, patient-centered care.
