I. Charge to ISG Members

The Issue Strategy Group on Workforce Shortage in Nebraska is charged with developing a plan to assist Nebraska hospitals and health systems in these areas:

• retaining the health care workers already employed in Nebraska hospitals and health systems;
• recruiting quality workers to fill needed shortages and replace workers entering retirement;
• developing educational programs to encourage individuals to become trained in health care professions;
• and to suggest incentive programs designed for workers to seek and continue employment in Nebraska hospitals and health systems.
