Defining Workforce Needs and Planning Strategies for Integrated Care at the Provider Level

Successful integrated care depends on a well-integrated workforce supported by smart strategies for tracking, planning, and closing gaps using practical tools and data-driven insights. Join the National Council for Mental Wellbeing for an interactive panel discussion that will explore how team-based care models can thrive when built on a strong foundation of workforce integration. Presenters will highlight key team roles and the core competencies that support collaboration and patient-centered care, including:

• Trauma-informed practice
• Shared decision-making
• Team-based communication
• Patient-centered responsiveness

Panelists will unpack common challenges like burnout, role confusion, and lack of support, and share actionable strategies for workforce tracking and planning, including gap analyses and sample dashboards. They'll also explore how monitoring key metrics such as retention, vacancy duration, and staff satisfaction can strengthen your workforce and improve care delivery.
