A Government and private health care delivery systems often face challenges recruiting and retaining the workforce necessary to deliver health care services. At GRC, our staff has the expertise to devise strategies to attract, train, and retain a variety of health care professionals to improve health care research, policy, and practice. These strategies include: engaging health policy leaders and academic experts to identify skills and competencies needed to support emerging health care delivery models; developing and promoting programs to support these models; and evaluating the impact of workforce development initiatives on Ohioans access to quality health care.
Our most recent areas of focus include: expanding the workforce to meet growing long term care community support needs and integrated primary physical and behavioral health services; using quality improvement science to support health care practice transformation; and preparing Ohio’s policy leaders and researchers to improve Ohio’s health care delivery system.
