HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT

Optimum CareerPath^®

A new approach to building your healthcare IT team

As healthcare technology rapidly progresses, hiring and retaining qualified talent is increasingly challenging

The demand for resources in areas like Epic, Workday, ServiceNow, and data analytics leaves many health systems and service providers struggling with high costs and competing for the same scarce employees

The problem will continue to worsen as health systems continue to digitize. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that demand for healthcare IT roles is expected to grow quickly over the next decade as the population ages and hospitals continue to shift to digital record-keeping systems.^[1^] Meanwhile, there are few established pathways to launch healthcare IT careers.

Optimum CareerPath: Program Testimonials

Optimum Careerpath Testimonial: Ben Mansalis | Innovator of the Year, CHIME 2021

I'd recommend [CareerPath] not only to my peers, but also to individuals that are interested in having that segue or on-ramp... It gives people the tools so they're just not starting from zero.

On the other side, these managers get to bring in folks that are really excited about contributing and that lifts the whole team because everybody taps into that excitement and it can be a really great elevator for everybody in the organization...
