Hospital Talent Pipeline Management

Kentucky Chamber logo

The Kentucky Hospital Association has partnered with the Kentucky Chamber Foundation to create a Talent Pipeline Management (TPM®) program designed specifically for hospitals. The program aims to help hospitals develop their talent supply chains by focusing on the following objectives:

  • Building talent supply chains that support career opportunities in our hospitals
  • Recruiting talent into hospitals and educational programs
  • Identifying and sharing regional best practices to support critical jobs needed for various types of hospitals

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation created the TPM® program, and the Kentucky Chamber Foundation is one of its initial statewide partners, implementing the program across all major industries in Kentucky.

The Kentucky Hospital Association’s (KHA) partnership with the TPM® program is centered on enhancing the hospital workforce. KHA has funded four positions, each representing a region of Kentucky.

The TPM® model is based on supply chain economics and is designed to grow the supply of talent through marketing, education, and training. Instead of Kentucky hospitals competing against each other for talent, the KHA and Kentucky Chamber Foundation aim to expand the supply of healthcare workers for each hospital to hire and develop talent from a larger hiring pool.

This initiative begins in primary and secondary schools to build interest in health and continues with post-secondary schools to ensure students receive quality career preparation and the resources they need to graduate and stay in Kentucky.

Through collaboration with hospitals and data analysis, KHA and Kentucky Chamber Foundation TPM® managers will convene and connect hospitals, schools, and community partners to understand and address regional resources and the need for building a stronger healthcare workforce.

TPM® works to identify where employers historically source their most qualified talent and analyze the capacity of those resources and untapped talent sources to meet projected demand.

TPM(r) is focused on the key regions of Western and Eastern Kentucky.

The Kentucky Hospital Association (KHA) partnered with UK HealthCare and the Cabinet for Health and Family Services as part of the Kentucky Opioid Response Effort (KORE) to launch the Kentucky Statewide Opioid Stewardship (KY SOS) program.
 
The KY SOS Program is working with Kentucky hospitals to fight the opioid epidemic.  The program provides services to inpatient, outpatient primary care clinics, and has just expanded its bandwidth to include emergency departments (ED) across the Commonwealth. Reducing opioid overprescribing while improving safe opioid use in inpatient and primary care clinics in Kentucky continues to be the KY SOS mainstay and goal. With the addition of the ED Bridge program, KY SOS now addresses the full continuum of care for Kentucky patients, treatment of pain and treating those with opioid use disorder (OUD).
 
The newest initiative within KY SOS is the launch of the Emergency Department (ED) Bridge Program.  The main objective of the ED Bridge Program is to ensure patients with OUD receive 24/7 access to care.  EDs have an incredible opportunity to make OUD treatment accessible to all.  
 
The state has 11 ED Bridge Programs in place, making a difference in the lives of patients and their communities.  The KY SOS team will continue to expand the ED Bridge Programs into acute care hospital EDs across the state.  
 
The KY SOS ED Bridge Program goal is to increase access to treatment and assist patients in their road to recovery, thus saving lives in Kentucky communities.
