    13. April 11, 2007 13 Summit Resolution Let us reaffirm our commitment to finding solutions to the challenges facing the health care sector Please join with me in the signing of this Resolution

    14. April 11, 2007 14 DWD Efforts Select Committee on Health Care Workforce Development formed in 2003-key stakeholders: ? Health Care Organizations & Advocacy Groups- home health, nursing homes, & long-term care ? Labor ? Education ? Other government agencies

    15. April 11, 2007 15 DWD Efforts Workplace Issues - Developing best practices to improve retention rates. Stronger Data for Planning To improve projections of health care occupations in demand. Clinical Site Capacity and potentially developing an on-line product to assist with placement and reservation.

    16. April 11, 2007 16 DWD Efforts Bureau of Labor statistics-6 of top 10 occupations at highest risk for back injuries are in health care

    17. April 11, 2007 17 Working together keeps our Health Care Workforce #1

    18. April 11, 2007 18 Senator Herb Kohls Health Care Agenda JoAnne Anton State Director Senator Kohls Office

    19. April 11, 2007 19 Overview of Clinical Placement Issue Nancy Sugden, Director Wisconsin Area Health Education Centers

    20. April 11, 2007 20 Health Workforce Concerns ?Changing healthcare needs of the population ?Current and projected shortages in the healthcare workforce ?Chronic maldistribution of the workforce - number of rural and urban underserved areas (HPSAs) ?Limited access of students from minority and rural backgrounds to health professions careers

    21. April 11, 2007 21 Initial Statewide Efforts April 2000 - Formation of Health Care Workforce Coalition joint project of WHA, AHEC and many other partners April 2002 - WTCS organized conference: Taking Action! Creating Healthcare Workforce Solutions Spring 2003 - Formation of Governors Select Committee for HealthCare Workforce Development

    22. April 11, 2007 22 Initial Statewide Efforts Health Care Workforce Coalition early conversations about actions needed to address anticipated shortages initial focus on health careers recruitment/pipeline, career ladders, apprenticeship programs and longterm care needs quickly found major roadblock - limited capacity of training programs to expand, in part due to need for clinical placements WTCS activities standardization of health professions curricula and pre-requisites across campuses, transferability of courses, development of on-line options, expansion of facilities and use of sophisticated patient simulators

    23. April 11, 2007 23 Academic Program Initiatives support for health careers activities and pipeline programs in underserved areas and populations several grant-funded projects focused on increasing the number of masters-prepared nurses available to teach in the health professions programs, especially nursing NET SWIFT LEAP Other grant-funded initiatives to develop capacity of community-based sites and providers - to provide learning opportunities for health professions students

    24. April 11, 2007 24 Regional Efforts Development of regional collaborations under leadership of several different groups Regional AHECs and academic partners: health careers continued effort to develop new community-based training sites Local Workforce Boards giving increasing attention to health workforce issues Fox Valley Health Care Alliance La Crosse Health Science Consortium

    25. April 11, 2007 25 Current Status Diminishing federal grant resources available to academic programs to address healthcare workforce issues (Title VII Health Professions funding) Increasing appreciation of the challenge posed by current and impending health workforce shortages the need for a collaborative, regionally-focused approach with broad external statewide support to get the job done Must expand capacity for clinical placement

    26. April 11, 2007 26 Clinical Placement What are clinical placements? Coursework involving hands-on, direct care or service experience and evaluation of the students skills, variously referred to as: Clinical Clinical rotation Clerkship Fieldwork experience Community placement Practicum Internship

    27. April 11, 2007 27 Clinical Placement Why are clinical placements so important? Couldnt we fill the need through expanded use of manikins, clinical simulators and standardized patients? Students need experiences outside the formal classroom, in community and patient care settings under the supervision of skilled practitioners, to develop their critical thinking and clinical judgment skills and learn to use those skills in a dynamic work environment.

    28. April 11, 2007 28 Clinical Placement What kind of students? Technical college associate degree and technical training programs Undergraduate health professions degree programs Advanced degree programs What fields?

    29. April 11, 2007 29 Clinical Placement What kind of facilities? direct patient care (inpatient or ambulatory) technical and support services such as: pharmacy radiology dietetics social work long-term care facilities mental health facilities hospice home health other community agencies schools and public health agencies

    30. April 11, 2007 30 Clinical Placement How scheduled? Time blocks of 2 hours to a full day A few days a week, integrated into a general education curriculum and a regular campus course schedule or A full-time block of several weeks when students may be engaged in the field experience full time

    31. April 11, 2007 31 Clinical Placement Who teaches and supervises the students? faculty from the academic program who accompany students to the site or staff at the clinical site in consultation with a faculty clerkship director who makes occasional site visits On-site staff are often called preceptors, mentors or community faculty and may have volunteer appointments with the academic program.

    32. April 11, 2007 32 Clinical Placement What are the expectations of the student? The student may be merely observing, or may be participating directly in patient care or service delivery. The independence expected of the student in carrying out assigned tasks evolves as the students training progresses. Sites and preceptors must be prepared to evaluate the students progress and permit increasing responsibility appropriate to the students level of development.

    33. April 11, 2007 33 Focus on Nursing Summer of 2006 survey of health professions programs indicated a need for more clinical placements in many disciplines. Why initial focus on nursing? nursing shortage affects so many different care settings and agencies training site requirements so varied within just one discipline expectation that lessons learned and regional collaborations developed will speed efforts for other disciplines.

    34. April 11, 2007 34 Nursing Curriculum Diverse curricula, but in general: ADN and BSN students need 4-5 clinical placements - at least one every semester (except BSN sophomore entry programs). One clinical placement may involve scheduling experience for the student on more than one service within a facility. Students spend from 12-24 hours per week at the clinical site, in 2-6 hour blocks of time. PN, first year ADN and junior year BSN students are taught in groups of 8, usually by a faculty member who travels with the students to the site. Second year ADN and most senior year BSN programs use preceptors on site for one of the clinicals. The transition or practicum experiences provide a 1:1 relationship of student to preceptor, and an opportunity for the student to exercise more independence.

    35. April 11, 2007 35 Nursing Clinical Placements Needed Core clinical skills Hospitals Long term care facilities Community health and service learning Public health Community agencies Other School health clinics Mental health facilities

    36. April 11, 2007 36 Challenges for Nursing Programs in Arranging Clinical Placements Will the patient or client mix at the site meet the needs of the specific component of the training program for which a training site is needed? Is the site able to provide space for students to meet as a group? Will students be able to access computers and on-line information resources at the site if needed? Are there staff at the site qualified to teach/precept/supervise students? Can they get release-time for preceptor development activities? Is housing available on-site if students will be there full time and must travel a distance to the site? Does the site understand the role of the student as learner, not as an extension of the workforce? Does the site understand its obligation to provide emergency care for students who become ill or are injured? What are the requirements of the partnership agencies regarding documenting students, affiliation agreements, and risk management, liability and malpractice issues?

    37. April 11, 2007 37 Challenges for Healthcare Organizations and Providers Meeting the needs of different occupations, educational programs and levels of student. Assuring that the patient to student ratio is acceptable and that patients are agreeable to student-delivered/observed care. Establishing and verifying both school and facility expectations regarding staff role with students. Coping with the lack of standardization in record keeping processes and expectations among the educational programs. Providing clinical time around academic program schedules. Clarifying risk management/liability and all other variables relating to the relationship. Educating managers and staff regarding their own responsibilities, school expectations and student abilities. Small or specialty units and facilities far removed from the school location may have additional special issues to address.

    38. April 11, 2007 38 Barriers lack of trained community preceptors with time to teach barriers of time and distance for students and faculty limited scheduling flexibility lack of classroom space and equipment for students at smaller facilities administrative burden on smaller facilities without an education coordinator some academic programs are proprietary about sites unwillingness to change from the way we have always done things

    39. April 11, 2007 39 Opportunity to explore these challenges in our regional discussions over lunch

    57. April 11, 2007 57 Nursing School Strategies Clinical simulations Collaborative learning environments Distance education Sharing of resources Academic-service partnerships More part time, temporary, & adjunct faculty, faculty overload

    58. April 11, 2007 58 Question for WI: Will Supply=Demand? WI does not have coordinated, systematic method of collecting nurse workforce data Supply Demand Without this information - cannot develop a plan to meet the needs of the citizens of WI Healthcare marketplace is slow to respond to needs Marketplace creates surpluses and shortages that do not meet needs of population Specialty areas Geographical areas

    59. April 11, 2007 59 WI: Prepare for the Future Need to answer these questions: Is the supply of nurses adequate to meet the health needs of the citizens of WI? Does the nurse workforce have the right skills and education to provide quality care in the right locations and specialties? Does the nurse workforce reflect the cultural and racial make-up of the state? WI must have basic nurse workforce data Supply: Demographics, Work settings, Education, Hours of work Demand: Across all settings: available positions and requirements, turnover and vacancy rates, projected needs

    65. April 11, 2007 65 Three workgroups were formed for each issue and brainstorming started immediately! During the next 6-9 months, the Preceptor Committee (#1) will focus their efforts on: Preceptor education (What is a preceptor? What qualities/skills should someone have? How do we promote/market being a preceptor?) Uniform evaluation (of preceptors and of the entire experience, so preceptors have a voice) Recognition (reward system, what would a preceptor appreciate as a token of thanks? Luncheon? Preceptor of the year? Pin for nametag? Gift certificates?)

    66. April 11, 2007 66 Uniformity/Standardization committees (#2) areas of concentration: A Universal/Uniform orientation across area facilities Development of a Skills Checklist (For precepted experiences, will help everyone know what a student can really do) Consistency in what area facilities require from students (paperwork, healthcare requirements, etc.) Development of a concise, collaborative process of how to submit and request a clinical.

    67. April 11, 2007 67 And finally, the Clinical Placement subcommittee (#3) will work on: Researching innovative clinical placement models that promote thinking outside the box. Data gathering: (Need to know what schools and healthcare facilities want/need/already do/can do to identify matches and mismatches) Securing funding for possible projects: Simulation center for all to share On-line clinical placement system

    68. April 11, 2007 68

    69.

    72. April 11, 2007 72 Retirement Intentions Notice that RNs and CNAs will be retiring at a lesser rate than the general healthcare workforce, while LPNs will be retiring much faster. Notice that RNs and CNAs will be retiring at a lesser rate than the general healthcare workforce, while LPNs will be retiring much faster.

    73. April 11, 2007 73 Major factors in retirement decision Of respondents 5 years or less from retirement Financial security at time of retirement (59%) Reaching appropriate retirement age (41%) Reaching eligible retirement age (40%) Desire to pursue leisure activities (36%) Job stress/pressure (34%)

    74. April 11, 2007 74 Departure Intentions Just under 4% plan to leave within 24 months. 2% of RNs 2.9% of LPNs 5.9% of CNAs Major reasons in departure decision: 45% insufficient salary and benefits 42.5% desire for a career change 39% job stress / pressure 31% emotional demands of the job

    75. April 11, 2007 75 These surveys will: Assess current number of positions staffed and the age ranges of employees at each facility. Assess anticipated staffing level changes over the next 5 years. A total of 7 occupational clusters and a miscellaneous cluster. These surveys are completed by individual HR departments. Healthcare Staffing Assessment~ still working on it!
