Creating a sustainable future for the healthcare workforce


The U.S. healthcare system is caught in a paradox: more patients, more spending, more technology — and yet, stagnant productivity and persistent staffing gaps.

Even as health sector employment rebounded by 2.6 million jobs post-pandemic, almost half of hospitals report RN vacancy rates over 10%. While wage growth has outpaced inflation, only 52% of healthcare workers feel fairly paid, the lowest of any industry.

This report goes beyond stopgap solutions. It lays out a strategic framework for cultivating talent, elevating the employee value proposition and using tech to drive real productivity — not just add complexity.

Key takeaways include:
 
  • The four paradoxes undermining workforce sustainability and how to address them
  • Lessons from higher education on navigating demographic disruption
  • How health systems can shift from reactive hiring to long-term workforce planning
