Planned activities for 2020-2021
The CCNW is positioned to spearhead a statewide Healthcare Workforce Demand Initiative to secure workforce data from all Connecticut practice settings, this includes:

• Continued implementation of a best-practice Survey model developed by Washington’s Health Workforce Council to identify current & future demand for nursing and healthcare roles across the care continuum;
  
• Data Management- Collecting, analyzing and publishing findings of this statewide data by: Facility Type, Region and Zip Code to define workforce challenges;
  
• Host 3rd Annual Statewide Healthcare Workforce Summit;
  
• Share Findings and Promising Practices that will directly inform organization and healthcare funders regarding the healthcare roles most in need of expansion and to develop proactive education and employment strategies; and
  
• Collaborate with statewide partners to align state and federal dollars coming into Connecticut to produce the employees who are in the greatest demand by our healthcare employers and identifying trends in the healthcare workforce to support future grant applications and/or initiatives.

Statewide Nursing & Healthcare Workforce Summit – Collective Impact is scheduled for June 18, 2019 from 12:45 pm to 4:45 pm at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, CT.

​A robust and sustainable nursing and healthcare 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.

Connecticut data will be shared from CLN’s Statewide Nursing & Healthcare Demand Workforce Study that was conducted this past Spring. Each attendee will receive an Executive Briefing of the survey findings as part of the registration fee! The Executive Briefing will include aggregated data from practice setting participants and illustrate “High Demand” roles depicted by region, healthcare setting and zip code.
