Addressing health care worker shortages
Friday, April 10, 2009
South Dakota is one of a growing number of states to introduce programs that address health care worker shortages that are straining providers and threatening patient care.
A study released last year by the Washington, D.C.-based Association of Schools of Public Health found that the U.S. will need more than 250,000 additional public health workers by 2020. An estimated 56 million Americans lack adequate access to primary care due to physician shortages in their communities, according to a report released last fall by the Bethesda, MD-based National Association of Community Health Centers.
