The New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute released Emerging From COVID-19: An Action Plan for a Healthier State in April 2021. The
Action Plan included twenty-four consensus driven recommendations, informed by the experiences of one hundred health care leaders during the pandemic, to strengthen our health care system. A key focus area of the Action Plan was the need to create and support a resilient and diverse health care workforce for the future. To deliver safe, equitable, person-centered care, New Jersey needs a health care workforce sufficient in size, life experience, diversity, and training to meet the needs of its diverse and aging
population.

This guidance document outlines a path forward to build the data infrastructure and systems needed to create and sustain a resilient and diverse health care workforce. It also outlines the workforce issues that need to be addressed and shares current strategies that could be improved upon and other potential strategies to deploy.
