  1. WORKFORCE INTER-SERVICE DATA To better match and project workforce supply and demand by accurately forecasting workforce needs, identifying gaps, pipelining capacities, projecting vacancies, and understanding current workforce at all levels, including specialty care needs and new emerging work levels

  2. Progress • Minnesota Office of Rural Health and Primary Care continued meetings and rolled out an interactive website • Jill and Jay updated at June 2009 Partnership Council meeting • http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/orhpc/workforce/database/healthsum.cfm • ORPHC also created ‘clearinghouse’ of healthcare workforce data sites • http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/orhpc/workforce/clearing.cfm

  3. DIVERSE WORKFORCE RESOURCE Better match workforce diversity with our populations Collect, centralize and make accessible resources that support diverse populations, education, and workplaces

  4. Progress • “Supporting the Success of Diverse Nursing Students” workshop held 9/18 • ~80 faculty attended from throughout the state • Evaluations indicated the workshop was a resounding success • 95% of respondents ‘agreed’ or ‘strongly agreed’ that their understanding of the role of cultural diversity in education had increased • 95% of respondents ‘agreed’ or ‘strongly agreed’ that they left with proven teaching strategies and techniques • Significant interest in continuing this topic • Regional meetings, annual meeting, website, book club

  5. Progess(cont.) • HEIP worked with the MnSCU Foundation to submit a RWJ proposal • Not successful but a good platform for additional opportunities • Through the MnSCU Foundation, HEIP met with United Health Group’s Center for Nursing Advancement to discuss possible diversity-related partnerships

  6. Progress (cont.) • Continued success of nationally-known CHW initiative • 300+ completers; 45 grandfathered; 7 providers being reimbursed • CHW curriculum to include 3 additional credits in Health Promotion • Continued CHW policy work on reimbursement of CHWs to include: • Federal approval of reimbursement for CHW working under the direction of Mental Health Professionals • Developing a strategy for Medicaid reimbursement for FQHC’s, and including CHWs in the Medical Home Model in MN. • Nationally:  Promoting the role of CHW in the Health Reform Bill

  7. CLINCIAL EDUCATION DELIVERY MODEL Assure that clinical education experience is purposeful and fosters effectiveness in practice (encompassing skills, tools, experience and settings) Increase capacity for clinical education opportunities

  8. Progress • SIGNIFICANT progress with regard to clinical coordination in both nursing and clinical laboratory • Liz Biel will do an update on this at the Partnership Council in March • MLT educators have standardized clinical internship forms and checklists; CLS will be doing a similar initiative • HEIP working toward a MnSCU system contract for background checks and immunization tracking to more easily satisfy requirements of clinical sites

  9. Progress (cont.) • “Breaking the Bottleneck” ITV Conference held 9/30 • Over 50 attendees in 6 locations • Heard from large, medium, and small labs • Presented at the MHA Workforce Council meeting about need for clinical internships for MLT/CLS

  10. COMPREHENSIVE ARTICULATION PLAN IN HEALTHSCIENCES

  11. Deliverables/Progress • Evaluate the current nursing articulation agreement within MNSCU and update as needed to include the two to four year articulation, the Practical Nursing to RN articulation and the graduate level of nursing education pathway. In process of being signed. • Complete the articulation and transfer agreements for two year Medical Laboratory Technician programs into four year Clinical Laboratory Science programs at the State Universities and the University of Minnesota. Nearing completion with SPC/WSU. • Explore and market available BS programs for current allied health professionals with two year degrees to continue their education and attain skills in leadership, supervision and management that apply in a variety of health care settings. • Complete the development of a Broadfield Associate in Health Sciences degree to transfer into various baccalaureate degree programs in the Health Sciences field. Completed.

  12. “ON THE GROUND” COORDINATION OF EXPOSURE TO HEALTH CARE CAREERS

  13. Deliverables/Progress • 1. Develop and create a “hands on” Clinical Laboratory Science Tool kit to promote health careers for students at career fairs. Post the contents and cost of these kits on the HealthForce MN website for public view and sharing. Already completed and on the HEIP website. • 2. Residential SCRUBS Camp in the summer to provide in depth exposure to college life and health careers to students in grades 9-12. Completed and ready for planned replication. • 3. Health Career Day Camps for students in younger grades or at locations without residential opportunities. Mankato Middle School Camp completed. • 4. Promote the Health Care Channel and ISEEK for no cost access to health careers at schools and career fairs. Materials utilized whenever possible.

  14. Deliverables/Progress (cont.) • 5. Creation of an “Adult SCRUBS Camp” has been suggested for dislocated workers and in early stages. Completed and planned for replication. • 6. Increase the number of teachers licensed to teach health careers. In process. Successfully changed requirements for experience for our teachers. • 7. Involvement and leadership in HOSA. Numerous connections with HOSA in place. • 8. Increased utilization of NCHSTE curriculum and Medical Anatomy & Physiology in K-12. In progress. • 9. Provide Project Lead the Way Biomedical Science leadership. Jane Foote taking leadership role.

  15. SIMULATION RESOURCES FOR EDUCATIONAL, INDUSTRY AND STATE PARTNERS

  16. Deliverables/Progress • Increased Simulation equipment available regionally for Health Science programs. Simulation equipment and utilization has increased. • HEIP Simulation Library to be marketed and improved. Consider revenue generating potential of this resource. • MN Simulation Alliance to convene interested simulation users and create a simulation plan for the state. • Continued development of Simulation Smart Games for increased critical thinking and skills within HealthCare programs statewide. Continues. • Coordination of regional simulation center initiative in Mankato with goal of successful implementation and replication elsewhere. • Exploration of preferred pricing/vendor relationship with Laerdal. In process. • Continue conference series with one focused on EMT/Paramedics.

  17. Deliverables/Progress (cont.) • MLT and CLS programs exploring use of simulation. • DoL grant sponsored exploratory visit to The Michener Institute in Toronto. • Seeking planning grant for feasibility study.
