Modernizing Workforce Strategy Beyond Major Health Systems
Workforce challenges are no longer limited to large health systems. Rural hospitals, regional providers, and community-based organizations face many of the same staffing shortages, financial pressures, and operational demands but often have fewer resources available to address them.
In this Marcus Evans panel discussion, operational leaders from Wilson Medical Center, Mount Nittany, Denver Health and Bronson Methodist Hospital share how they are modernizing workforce strategy to improve workforce visibility, strengthen labor sustainability, and make more informed staffing decisions across clinical and non-clinical departments.
The discussion explores how community and mid-sized healthcare organizations are leveraging workforce data, technology, and operational coordination to reduce dependency on reactive staffing models while maintaining patient access and continuity of care. Attendees will hear practical lessons from organizations that are building scalable workforce practices despite ongoing labor constraints and financial pressures.
