  21. Dan McDermott Validation • Are the projected openings: too high, too low or about right? • Are the average wages: too high, too low or about right? • What about LPNs? • What about Phlebotomy? • Where are dental jobs listed?

  22. Dan McDermott Validation Meeting April 19, 2011 • Mary Pat Harrell Genesis • Kim Honeycutt Comfort Keepers • Jeanne Bromwell AHEC, Deputy Director • Jake Frego AHEC, Exec. Director • Cassandra Stanley Eastern Shore Hospital Center • Carla Neugroschel Dorchester County Health Department • Doug Wilson Peninsula Regional Medical Center • Jeanie Holt AA - Dental Hygienist • Addie Eckhart State Delegate

  23. Dan McDermott Positions discussed during validation meeting • Doctor • RN • AA-RN • Certified Medicine Aide (CMA) • Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) • Certified Geriatric Aide (GNA) • LPN • Phlebotomist • Surgical Technician • Radiologic Technician • Dental Assistant • Dental Hygienist • Medical Tech • Patient Tech • Nurse Practitioner • Physical Therapist • Occupational Therapist • Recreational Therapist • Speech Therapist • Direct Care Assistant • Health Aide • Patient Sitter

  24. Dan McDermott Are Job Projections Accurate? • Too Low • Aging population of health care workers will result in significant positive impact on openings • Health care reform will have a significant positive impact on openings • Health care reform will have a significant positive impact on mid level practitioner openings ex: nurse practitioner, dental hygienist, physician assistant

  25. Dan McDermott Is wage data accurate? • LPN wages are too high • Wage rates are close to average in general- within an acceptable range • Government wage rates are lower than averages presented

  26. Dan McDermott What is the future for the LPN certification? • Most employers are phasing out LPNs • LPNs can “evaluate but not assess”, therefore, an RN must provide assessment • RNs with an Associate’s Degree seem to be the “replacement” for LPNs

  27. Dan McDermott How does phlebotomy fit into local healthcare hiring? • National companies such as Quest and Labcorp are the major employers of phlebotomists

  28. Dan McDermott Where are other healthcare jobs such as dental listed? • Word of mouth among affiliate groups • ESAHEC lists some jobs • Networking among employers and jobseekers • Not listed in newspapers

  29. Dan McDermott Other areas of discussion • Median wage data may be more useful than average wage data • Many employers are using travel nurses and other temporary staffing options • New RNs are hard to place- Genesis has a 3 week orientation program, Shore Health’s critical Care University • Job titles in employment postings create confusion- medical tech: C.N.A vs 4 year degree position

  30. Dan McDermott Other areas of discussion • “Uncoupling”: dental hygienists from dentists, physician’s assistants from physicians • Health care reform’s impact on health care delivery is evolving
