Why Workforce Development for Value-Based Care Is a Vital Issue to Address

Health care transformation begins with the competency of the team, and workforce development should be a top priority in value-based care movement. This is a lesson that must be applied by learning from our past. When we look at the days gone by in healthcare, it can be readily observed how we have not always had the right people in the right roles. This misalignment places our system in jeopardy. For example, the continued high rate of medical errors can be attributed to an ongoing lack of training on quality and safety.

Workforce development will not only drive success in value-based care by ensuring industry capability; it will put America back to work by providing the necessary skills for those seeking an opportunity to improve their standing in society.
