Healthcare Workforce Research for Complex Workforce Challenges
Unlock Insights That Other Research Centers Simply Can’t Provide.
The Challenge
Most healthcare workforce research is voluntarily updated, outdated or static. To answer the tough questions-like workforce retention and migration-you need more than just data. You need longitudinal data of the entire healthcare workforce.
The Solution
NCAHD combines 35+ years of specialized expertise with our 19-years of our unique, state regulated ESL to provide a 360-degree view of healthcare supply, demand, trends and migration.
Exclusive Research Capabilities
Our methodology allows us to perform analyses that standard research firms cannot replicate.
Advanced Migration Pattern Analysis
The NCAHD Exclusive: Track the actual migration patterns of individual healthcare providers based on home location, medical/residency education training to current practice site.
High-Precision Recruitment Targeting
Identify the ideal geographic "sweet spots" for recruitment based on a multi-layered analysis of:
• Healthcare provider densities and specialties.
• Location of all healthcare training institutions, healthcare facilities (e.g. hospitals, federal clinics, VA sites, etc.).
• Provider densities and competition.
• Community health determinants.
• Political and socio-economic landscape.
Aging Workforce Risk Assessment
Analyze the density of an aging workforce to identify high-risk areas before a retirement wave creates a crisis in care.
