Healthcare Informatics: Despite overseeing 72 healthcare workforce programs, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) lacks comprehensive planning and oversight, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
For the report, GAO was asked to review HHS's workforce efforts. In the report, GAO examines (1) HHS's planning efforts for ensuring an adequate supply and distribution of the nation's healthcare workforce and (2) the extent to which individual HHS healthcare workforce programs contribute to meeting national needs. GAO did this by reviewing strategic planning documents, workforce projection reports, and other related documents obtained from HHS agencies; interviewing HHS officials; and analyzing performance measures for the largest healthcare workforce programs operated by HHS.
