PowerPoint Presentations on Wisconsin Health Care Workforce
WHA offers three PowerPoint presentations on the Health Care Workforce. They are for you to use. Appropriate audiences may be hospital employees, board members and civic groups interested in workforce issues.
To help you with a presentation, comments and suggestions have been made for most slides. These can be read in the "normal" view. They can also be printed as "notes pages."

Wisconsin's Health Care Workforce 2004-2014 reports on the Department of Workforce Development's 10-year occupational employment projections. It emphasizes that health care is projected to be the largest employer by 2014 with a projected growth in jobs of 26 percent. The message is that we will have many jobs to fill and will not have workers available to fill those positions without action today.
Wisconsin's Nursing Workforce provides an update on the current nursing workforce. It describes positions in the current environment that are difficult to fill. The presentation then uses both state and national data to project the future need for nurses and points out that we are not currently preparing enough nurses to meet future demands. Recruitment, retention and redesigning nursing work strategies are proposed.
Hospital Workforce Report: This PowerPoint is to be used with the report released in December 2004. High quality, accessible and affordable health care is critically important to the residents of Wisconsin. The ability to provide that care is dependent on attracting, training, and maintaining an adequate workforce. It is unlikely that an adequate health care workforce will exist in the future unless both immediate and sustained actions are initiated today. Wisconsin has an aging population with increasing health care needs and a small number of 18 year olds entering the workforce. Finding new workers, increasing the capacity to train new recruits, and ensuring the successful work life of existing workers are all issues that must be addressed. In an era where health care costs are an increasing consideration for employers, consumers and health care providers, it is also important to recognize the impact that workforce shortages have on cost.
