Nursing and Healthcare Workforce Summit.

Statewide Healthcare Workforce Summit

2023 Statewide Nursing and Healthcare Workforce Summit

A robust and sustainable nursing workforce in Connecticut is critical to ensure that our state can provide care to our residents. This Summit will showcase proven and successful strategies that Connecticut must undertake to foster alignment of the "Supply and Demand" of key healthcare roles essential to providing safe and quality care within Connecticut.

The Focus of the Summit was to:

• Highlight NEW 2022 Data related to the current nursing skill gaps in the Connecticut’s nursing workforce by assessing the capacity of our education pipelines and availability of faculty; sharing the supply of nurses prepared for the roles of RN and LPN.
• Preview TWO Connecticut-only healthcare data portals which can be used to identify demand for healthcare roles via facility type, geographic region and healthcare setting; and
• Showcase promising practices by our statewide partners to identify how best to align available resources and dollars in targeted areas to minimize future skill gaps and achieve optimal return on investment.

Held on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at the AQUA TURF CLUB, Plantsville, CT
