The healthcare industry is a fast-moving, increasingly complex, and heavily regulated industry. With increasing competition, shrinking margins, and changing government healthcare policies and regulations, meeting the demands of a diverse workforce with specialized skills is a major challenge.

Healthcare organizations like hospitals, medical groups, integrated networks, health insurance plans, health information companies, manufacturers of branded and generic drugs, devices manufacturers, retail pharmacies, and professional services firms that support the industry need to focus on immediate talent needs while also keeping an eye on the longer-term, to “look around the corner” and anticipate significant changes to their workforce and staffing models.

Technology is at the forefront of healthcare innovation with rapid advancements in devices, equipment, and treatment methods. With changing business models, technology, and advancements in research it is critical that Healthcare organizations focus on upgrading their employees knowledge and skills.
