Panel Discussion from The Shortage in Healthcare Personnel and Labor Force Issues, 2023 CPPR Research Symposium
Workforce shortages in healthcare present healthcare policymakers with an imminent challenge and underscore the need for a thorough reassessment of the economics of our national healthcare system. To address these challenges and explore solutions, The Murphy Institute’s Center for Public Policy Research (CPPR), the Tulane School of Medicine, and the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine hosted The Shortage in Healthcare Personnel and Labor Force Issues, a two-day multidisciplinary conference held at the Troubadour Hotel and Tulane Lavin-Bernick Center on March 24th and 25th, 2023.
The symposium featured panel discussions with healthcare researchers and experts discussing the current challenges of the healthcare workforce, including staffing shortages among physicians and nurses and the impact on patient outcomes.
