Resolving the Nurse Crisis in San Antonio
Abstract
The purpose of this policy analysis study is to provide options to resolving the nurse crisis in San Antonio. As the metropolitan San Antonio population grows and ages over the next decade, demand for health care services will rise dramatically. The reality is that the supply of nurses is not growing as fast as the demand for nurses is. This growing shortage of nurses threatens the ability of hospitals and other health care providers to continue providing the health care services we all depend on. This report evaluates the nurse shortage, the union, moreover considers the consequences to hospitals of doing nothing, identifies opportunities for collaboration to expand the nurse workforce and recommends strategies that complement efforts already in place.
