New Product from FMT: Workforce Toolkit to Support Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Providers
The Flex Monitoring Team (FMT) has released a new product, the Workforce Toolkit to Support Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Providers.
This toolkit:
- provides background on health care workforce challenges in the U.S.,
- describes common workforce challenges faced by Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), and
- provides examples and links to external resources that CAHs may use to address their own workforce needs and enhance recruitment and retention.
The toolkit includes five modules that discuss key workforce challenges and resources by topic:
- Introductory module that summarizes broad challenges in the rural health care workforce
- Organizational culture and leadership
- Leveraging partnerships
- Emergency medical services workforce
- Administrative and support staff workforce
Each module exists as a standalone webpage on the FMT website, and the FMT has also created PDF versions of each module that may be saved locally or printed for reference.
