1 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Alaska’s Healthcare Workforce: Rod Betit, CEO Alaska State Hospital & Nursing Home Association

2 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Hospital and Nursing Facilities

3 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Big Employers Providence Health System- Alaska’s largest employer since 2001 Five of top 20 employers are healthcare 24 of top 100 employers are health and social services Health topped $5 billion in 2005, 1/3 the value of North Slope oil exports that year 1-3 Data from Alaska Dept of Labor and Workforce Development, Research & Analysis Section 4 Data from Institute for Social and Economic Research, UAA

4 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Industry Perspective Itinerant providers mean dollars lost to employers, and resources not invested in local economies. In 2005, we know: – 80 hospitals/THOs/Mental Health Centers spent over $11M in recruitment, $13M in Itinerants ($24M total), 16 occupations – FMH spent over $640K in recruitment, and $920K in Itinerants – FMH has saved at least $1.5M in nurse recruiting since local training started

5 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Nurse Overtime Survey Results Temp Nursing Hours Needed to Fill Vacancy: – 2006  94,166 hours – 2007  99,748 hours Opinion of Facility Administrators (2008) – Has gotten “better”  5 – Has gotten “worse”  10

6 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Cromer Report The Public’s Expectation: – Hospitals are supposed to deal with this – Real residents want basic services locally – Basic services = better distribution of employment

7 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Access to Care: Community Innovations This request for workforce improvement is not being done in a vacuum Rather – innovations are occurring in several communities – Examples include: Kenai / Soldotna Ketchikan Anchorage

8 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Approaches of Other States To Health Workforce Shortages and Mal-distribution Increase number/size of training programs Recruit/develop local youth Job enhancements – salary, benefits, hours Malpractice insurance cost relief Teamwork, work smarter Recruitment and retention enticements – pay educational costs in exchange for service

9 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Health Care Professions Loan Repayment & Incentive Program A Needed Innovation for Alaska

10 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Prospects Participants Trained Professional s AttritionRetirement Trained Professionals (from Elsewhere) Active Practitioners AK HC Workforce ______________________________________________________ Direct Care _____________________________________________________ Non-Direct ______________________________________________________ Possibles “Support-for- Service Programs” For those who are farther along in their careers

11 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Support-for-Service Programs Strategy - Most states have installed “Support-for-Service Programs”, at the state-level Funding - Four variations on SFSP funding: – State-sponsored – Blended state-federal (e.g. SLRP’s) – Federal-sponsored (e.g. I.H.S., &, NIH) – Local contributions to above Outcomes - SFSP’s – in general – have good outcomes, but there are important program differences -> across types …

12 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Support-for-Service Program Will remain necessary — regardless of training productivity WWAMI has doubled, and, Nursing Program has expanded greatly — but Agencies are still pulling practitioners from elsewhere

13 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 SFSP’s… Experience of Other States Review of 44 states Total of 81 state-level SFSP’s for HC professions Fully 21 states have two or more SFSP’s (47%) State-level support-for-service programs are a key part of successful recruitment & retention Several Strategies: Programs that integrate several strategies have had greater success than have those programs which have relied on single approach

14 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 14 Examples of Other States with Support-for-Service Programs Arkansas (3)New Mexico (5) Iowa (2)North Carolina (4) Maine (2)Oklahoma (3) Minnesota (7)Tennessee (2) Mississippi (2)Washington (2) Montana (3)Wisconsin (2)

15 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Consequences of Educational Debt Like carrying a mortgage on a second home Pushes practitioners into more lucrative jobs and specialties Discourages poorer students from health careers But also - provides a lever to influence practitioners, via loan repayment enticements

16 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 SFSP Options… Support for Service Loan Repayments Direct Incentives Scholarships Loans for Service Resident Support

17 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 17 SFSP -> Timeline Example Physicians’ training years, commitment- signing, service period, & post-service retention (Pathman, 2006) Medical School ResidencyServicePost-Service Retention Scholarship Program Loan Repayment Program Commitments Made Commitments Made _|____|____|____|____|____|____|_____|____|____|____|____|____|____|___ Years before service begins Years after service begins

19 Healthcare Workforce, HSS Hearing 1/29/09 Direct Incentive Programs Funding is provided to practitioners who agree to work in needy settings — whether or not they have education loans to be repaid There is no reason to believe that only young practitioners with debt are suited to work in rural areas and/or with underserved populations
