Through our partnership with TechImpact and their Data Innovation Lab, under the leadership of Héc Maldonado-Reis, Director of Research Development and Analytics, the Delaware Academy of Medicine / Delaware Public Health Association (Academy/DPHA) needed to understand the composition of the Delaware health care workforce following the COVID-19 pandemic. Subject matter experts across the state were anecdotally aware of a healthcare worker shortage but unaware of the details supporting it. One acute area of need related to the nursing workforce. The Academy/DPHA needed data to be analyzed to make strategic decisions regarding workforce training and policy recommendations.
