Finding highly skilled IT talent has always been challenging, but the COVID-19 pandemic and the Great Resignation amplified this issue, leaving many healthcare organizations with deep talent gaps. A booming job market, competitive wages, and skyrocketing inflation have made it more difficult than ever to find and retain IT talent in healthcare.
This labor shortage puts a strain on organizations as they modernize business models—with fewer staff.
Learn how you can address staffing shortages by relying on a strategic interoperability partner for cloud services, IT support, and other professional managed service needs.
We cover:
- The market drivers behind the health IT staffing shortage
- The implications of staff attrition gaps on health IT teams and organizations, such as security threats, clinician burnout, and patient safety
- Why healthcare organizations are turning to interoperability partners
- Why now is an opportune time to consider managed services in the cloud
