Presentation Overview

- As Rhode Island moves from planning to implementation, need to shift from “old school” to “new school” workforce planning approaches
- It’s not just about transforming the workforce —we need to redesign education, practice, payment and regulatory structures that support workforce
- Better workforce data are needed to drive policy change and evaluate outcomes of your work
