US Healthcare Reform: It’s Impact on the Future Hiring Needs Providers

The recent US Supreme Court decision to uphold the US Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) means that U.S. healthcare provider HR Executives need to get started ASAP on addressing the myriad of impacts this will have on the future talent needs of their business.

Carl Kutsmode, a talent acquisition expert and managing partner at talentrise, will facilitate a panel discussion with healthcare provider HR executives who are ahead of the game. Attendees will gain tips and advice on key investments and strategic changes needed to more effectively attract, recruit and retain the BEST healthcare talent in the future. Attendees will also learn the answers to the following questions:

•       Which POSITIONS are going to be impacted the MOST causing increased competition for talent in those roles?

•       Will you need to hire people with DIFFERENT SKILLSETS or competencies in the future?

•       What INVESTMENTS and OPERATIONAL changes are needed to improve your organizations ability to attract, recruit and retain the talent you will need in the future?

•       What is the bottom line FINANCIAL IMPACT to your business if you DON’T address these needs now?

The intended goal of this act is to help the over 32 million currently uninsured Americans to gain access to affordable, quality health care while providing currently insured Americans protection against restrictions or exclusions in coverage due to pre-existing conditions.

With some of the program’s provisions already implemented, the majority of the more significant changes will begin in 2014 and continue over the next 3 years.
