The clinical workforce shortage is one of the most pressing problems in health care. Bold actions now are necessary to mitigate the challenge, and boards have a critical role to play in overseeing change. By giving clinicians the support they need to work with purpose and passion, health systems can build clinical capacity for today — and tomorrow.

Hospital boards can think creatively about how to generate value for their patients and communities.

Assembling a team of health care providers from diverse professional backgrounds has the power to improve value for hospitals and for patients particularly during COVID-19.

A critical need exists to elevate the discussion about workforce planning and development to ensure it becomes a standing, rather than crisis-driven, component of comprehensive strategic planning for hospitals and health systems.
