3. Today’s focus…the pipeline
Big theme within SCHA workforce efforts is connecting and convening partners (think: state agencies, K-12, higher education, industry experts, etc.) In order to be successful, we must collaborate with partners to ensure everyone is working together and in the same direction to accomplish a unified goal of improving the state’s healthcare workforce pipeline and expanding/sustaining the state’s healthcare workforce

4. Healthcare workforce data
Do we have an accurate picture of current & future needs? Can/should we combine data sources for a better view?
