June 2023 Work Force Newsletter

 

Health Care Workforce Updates   June 2023 Update from the Regional Consortium The Regional Consortium on Health Care Workforce met on May 15th in a hybrid meeting. The following topics were discussed: Regional inventory of health care workforce programs – A draft inventory is available for review. We invite your feedback! Please email Melissa Pennise to let us know what information will be valuable to you, missing programs that we should include, or other feedback on the format and use of a regional inventory.  Workforce metrics – We will soon be convening a subgroup to discuss the development of community-wide metrics to inform on progress toward an equitable health care workforce. This effort will initially focus on the entry-level and long-term care workforces, with the intention to broaden the effort over time. Meeting minutes and the slide deck can be found on the Consortium website. Please contact Melissa Pennise with questions or for follow-up information.   FLPPS and HCR Home Care partnering with employers and community organizations to meet urgent demand for home health aides Finger Lakes Performing Provider System (FLPPS) and HCR Home Care are partnering with home health agencies and community-based organizations to develop and manage a program to recruit and train community home health aides (HHAs).
