Massachusetts
Health Care Work Force Survey
Available sectors
New! Massachusetts health and human service providers are experiencing unprecedented workforce shortages. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the health care workforce adversely affects the health outcomes of people of color. These distinct, but related issues of workforce capacity and diversity have clear consequences for access to care, quality of care, cost, and health outcomes.
CHIA launched its the inaugural Massachusetts Health and Human Services Workforce Survey (MHCW) to collect information on staffing capacity and diversity across 10 key sectors. The data collected aim to provide a critical fact base to support ongoing monitoring of workforce trends and to inform state policies and programs in the health and human service sectors.
The inaugural survey results are contained in the dashboard below. This publication will culminate in a statewide, cross-sector dashboard in the near future.
