HealthWorksTM, Arizona's Healthcare Workforce Initiative
Arizona faces chronic shortages of nurses, medical technologists, pharmacists, respiratory therapists and other medical professionals. These shortages are fueled by Arizona's ranking as the second fastest growing state in the nation. HealthWorks was established as a focused initiative designed to address Arizona's healthcare workforce needs. HealthWorks collaborates with other organizations to bring:
- Best and most promising workforce practices from the healthcare industry and other industries that have designed innovative strategies to address workforce shortages.
- Educational forums on topics such as work redesign models, characteristics of a preferred employer, and new and emerging trends in recruitment and retention from across the nation.
- Relevant workforce data needed to make informed decisions.
If you would like to share innovative practices from your organization, or have questions regarding this initiative, please contact Barb Averyt, Program Director Workforce and Patient Safety, at baveryt@azhha.org or 602-445-4300, ext. 4321.
