Long-term care faces a major workforce shortage.
In support of the efforts to inform the public and policymakers about staffing issues in long-term care, AHCA will conduct the 2007 Nursing Position Vacancy and Turnover Survey.
The 2002 Nursing Position Vacancy and Turnover Survey has played an important role in helping to inform the public and policymakers about staffing issues. Findings from the 2007 Nursing Position Vacancy and Turnover Survey will enable AHCA to continue to represent the profession with updated, accurate and consistent information about the direct care staff, and therefore, to be equipped to better inform governments, business and the public about long term care workforce for each state and the nation.
Nursing facilities will receive a copy of the 2007 Nursing Position Vacancy and Turnover Survey by the end of October, 2007. Your answers will be kept in the strictest confidence. Results will be presented in aggregate form only.
For the benefit of the entire profession, we encourage you to complete this important survey.
If you have any questions, please send an email to research@ahca.org, or call Peter Gruhn at (202) 898-2819 or Jeffrey Liu at (202) 898-2818.
