New Publication Suggests Global Solutions Apply to North Carolina Workforce Concerns

CapacityPlus’s David Nelson coauthored an article that appeared in the North Carolina Medical Journal. “Linking challenges, sharing solutions: The global crisis in human resources for health” suggests that strategies for remedying the global health workforce crisis could also be useful in North Carolina. Barbara Stilwell, director of technical leadership at IntraHealth International, is the other coauthor.

The article points out that, like many countries globally, the state of North Carolina could benefit from stronger health workforce planning and management, more nonphysician health workers, and strategies that encourage health workers to work in underserved areas.

The article points to specific resources such as the HRH Global Resource Center, the Learning for Performance methodology for in-service training, and the HRH Action Framework and website that could be useful to North Carolinian leaders in health workforce management.
