The Health IT Staffing Shortage Is a Problem Morphing Into a Crisis

Staffing shortages have plagued the healthcare industry for years, and this year hospital IT departments are feeling more pain than ever. The shortfall in physicians and nurses understandably gets the most press attention, but two phenomenons are pushing scarcity of specialized IT workers into the stratosphere: computer and IT jobs across all industries are projected to grow 12% from 2018  to 2028,  and healthcare is projected to add 3.5 million jobs during the period, about one-third of all new jobs — making it our largest sector. IT jobs are a big piece of that pie. Hospitals must plan ahead and be creative to overcome the stalled hiring efforts that will only worsen.
