Help us address NC health care industry’s workforce needs

The NC Center for Health Workforce is attempting to address North Carolina’s health care industry’s workforce needs. An important step is to gather your concerns about recruitment, retention, and skill needs of your workforce via a questionnaire by Friday, June 30.   

Your participation is important, and your feedback is confidential. The NC Center for Health Workforce will use this information to work with policymakers and educators to develop responses and solutions. 

The information you provide to the Sentinel Network will be kept confidential. Your organization’s data will be reported in aggregate form with data from similar organizations. Care will be taken to ensure that no individual organization’s responses can be identified in reports.   

The Sentinel Network is a tool to understand health employers’ real-time workforce needs – such as challenges related to recruitment, retention, and needed skills – and make that information available to educators and policymakers so they can act right away. They gather this information twice a year so it will be timely and actionable. For more information, visit https://nc.sentinelnetwork.org or contact nc@sentinelnetwork.org.    

The Sentinel Network is an initiative conducted collaboratively by North Carolina Area Health Education Centers (NC AHEC) and the University of North Carolina’s Program for Health Workforce Research and Policy within the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research. Funding to initiate the North Carolina Sentinel Network came from NC AHEC.
