Workforce
Creating and sustaining the healthcare workforce is essential to providing compassionate and quality care across our state. The recent pandemic exacerbated long-standing workforce challenges and added pressure to an already strained workforce. NCHA supports comprehensive solutions addressing the entire pipeline, from preparing tomorrow’s healthcare leaders through world-class education programs to bolstering the resiliency of today’s healthcare heroes with the resources they need to continue providing high-quality care.
NCHA has set an enterprise-wide goal of helping North Carolina’s hospitals & health systems be the best industry to work for in the state. The Association, Foundation and NCHA Strategic Partners are working with an advisory committee to implement a Workforce Plan. Our three areas of focus include:
- Pipeline and workforce development
- Retention, burnout, and care delivery
- Violence, safety, and trust
