Simulation: Sector Partnership Support Team Greensville Health Care Sector Partnership Covers two counties in Colorado and was established in 2013 by more than 30 health care employers and 10 public partners; Four action groups: Wellness: Promote wellness in the region; Behavioral Health: Coordinate a behavioral health solution for the two- county area, Workforce: Strengthen the health care workforce pipeline with a particular focus on improving diversity awareness skills, Regulations: Change state regulations relative to Preadmission Screening and Resident Review.
15
Scenario The partnership has identified the following priorities for action: Strengthen career pathway for CNAs: CNAs are a critical need across all health settings (acute, long-term, home care) but retention is a challenge since they are entry- level positions with low wages. Employers want to build pathways and opportunities for CNA employees ready to advance to other roles in the industry Increase talent pipeline of nurse practitioners: There is a large shortage of nurse practitioners in the region and the region currently offers no nurse practitioner training programs.
