Tackling the Healthcare Workforce Shortage

Chronic workforce shortages are leaving healthcare providers facing unprecedented challenges. Operating models are being undermined, as is the ability to create value or deliver growth and profits. Historically, providers were often able to rely on recruiting their way out of such problems. However, the structural and global nature of current workforce shortages means this is no longer an option for most operators. Tackling the workforce shortage is now therefore a major strategic issue and should be a primary focus for both operators and investors in the sector.

In this episode, our experts will discuss:

• The factors affecting workforce shortages
• The near, medium, and long-term need to take action
• The importance of investing in healthcare

To provide insights on these topics, we hear from Eilert Hinrichs, a Partner in L.E.K. Consulting’s London office, and Louisa Chaves, Principal in L.E.K. Consulting’s London office.
