Background:

CSRBALogoHZsmThe Colorado Springs Regional Business Alliance Health Care Sector Team held a collective impact event in February 2015 to discuss Health Care Work Force improvements needed to improve the health care sector of our regional economy. The team designated to follow up on notes from the event proposed a Health Care Work Force Program that would address many of the ideas and community needs called out at this collective impact event. The following items were identified as opportunities to grow our economy by sharing information between health care employers (providers, payers, insurers, digital health, health IT, etc.) in our region through this program.

• Round table to formulate a plan to attract more behavioral/psych talent (video?)
• Provide info to HC employers about funds and programs available to train their work force; support them in what they want to do
• How to hire the military
• How to engage interns
• How to provide externships (dental assistants, medical assistants, NP)
• Growing and keeping talent (round table – video)
• Volunteer-to-employee programs
• Health week event(s) on health care worker safety (for HR and employees-trainees); award for achievement in safety
• Update on laws and regulations and how they affect the work force
