  2. KANSASWORKS State Board Serves as a review board and change agent empowered with the responsibility of making recommendations to the Governor and to state agencies to align workforce development with the needs of economic development in the state by helping to produce: • a highly skilled and productive workforce; • high skill, high wage jobs; and • lifelong learners. 

  3. KANSASWORKS • KANSASWORKS is the brand name for the statewide, public workforce system established through the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and includes multiple service locations:     • More than twenty Workforce Centers          - single point of entry to a network of            employment, training, and educational            programs     • Two Mobile Workforce Centers          - one state-operated; one locally-operated     • Numerous Virtual Service sites           - cutting edge, high-definition videoconferencing     • Online at KANSASWORKS.com          - free, self-service job matching system for            jobseekers and employers

  4. Goals of KANSASWORKS • Champion a unified statewide vision and direction for the Kansas workforce system.  • Engage in active and intentional communication and collaboration to achieve desired outcomes.  • Catalyze energies around best practice models of training and job matching.  • Steer continuous system improvement through high standards of performance and accountability. • Articulate Kansas' experience and showcase success to garner new financial resources and drive the national workforce dialogue.

  5. Need data on all health professions Data Improved health care workforce data collection to better assess and project workforce requirements Research on health care workforce is fragmented

  6. Purpose of the HCWP The Health Care Workforce Partnership (HCWP) Committee: • Formed in response to Health and Human Services’ notice of funding availability and subsequent grant award. • Grant was provided as a resource for states: • To plan and implement programs aimed at increasing the supply of primary health care professionals • As part of a larger effort at the national level - to assess the workforce supply and demand, and develop uniform and consistent data sets on health care professionals in order to identify and address key health professions issues, and develop informed workforce policies.

  7. Health Care Workforce Clearinghouse • Maintain the existing multi-stakeholder collaborative. • Create an online health care workforce clearinghouse. • Website should have information and activities relevant to members including job postings, grant/funding opportunities, and best practices. It should utilize social networking. • Focus would be on securing data, identifying trends, creating a list serve and convening an annual workshop/conference with breakouts and training sessions from various stakeholders.

  8. Inter-professional EducationalOpportunities • Increase inter-professional educational opportunities in Kansas for a multi-professional multi-disciplined interaction in the classroom and clinical sites (clinical training is the most critical need). • Consider sharing educational resources for physicians, physician assistants, and APRNs.

  9. Community’s Capability toRecruit and Retain • Develop means to improve a community’s capability to recruit and retain primary care health professionals

  10. APRN & PA Research • Create funding pool to offer financial support similar to the Kansas Medical Student Loan Program to APRNs and PA students willing to attend school full-time and practice primary care in high need areas after graduation

  11. Information gathered in APRN Surveys • Program Data – 4 questions • Clinical Sites – 4 questions • Workforce Outcomes – 4 questions • Program Preparation – 3 questions • Program Specifics – 6 questions

  12. HCWP Barriers The HCWP has successfully accomplished the objectives of the health care workforce planning grant including implementation of some of the planning activities. • The one barrier that seems to be the greatest to overcome is health care workforce data. • 2009 voluntary APRN survey - 23% rate of return • 2012 APRN survey’s return rate was13%. • Required follow-up by telephone - inefficient and costly. • A more structured means to gather health care workforce data needs to be established. • Possible Solution - Tying data submission to licensure and for the practitioner
