Colorado Health Professions Workforce Policy Collaborative releases 2011 policy agenda

Read and download the recently released 2011 policy recommendations of the Colorado Health Professions Workforce Policy Collaborative. Created in 2008 through support by The Colorado Trust and convened by the Colorado Rural Health Center, the Collaborative brings together a multidisciplinary group of policy leaders, health care providers, educational institutions, economic development, and workforce planning authorities to better understand the complex nature of healthcare workforce policy and to develop and support effective changes. This year’s policy recommendations “Addressing Colorado’s Primary Care Provider Shortage” span across healthcare professions and provide evidence-based and actionable steps that state policymakers can take to ensure Colorado will have the healthcare workforce that it needs.
