§
EO18-22. (No. 07-13) [Governor's Health Care Workforce Work Group
WHEREAS,
successful transformation of Vermont's health care system is essential to
improve the access to care for, and the quality of care provided to,
Vermonters; and
WHEREAS, to achieve
this transformation depends on having a health care workforce with the right
skills in the right place at the right time; and
WHEREAS, a
properly equipped health care workforce will require health reform initiatives
that cut across traditional lines of state agency and department responsibility
and will require maximum involvement of the community of educational and health
professional stakeholders.
