Prompt

The medical industry is built on the backs of the clinical workforce of this country. It’s important to know where different medical professionals sit in the infrastructure of the healthcare system.

For this discussion, describe the workforce that is currently being hired for long-term care positions versus those hired for community clinics. What types of positions are the most common? How does this impact the overall quality of care?

For your citation, you might use articles that show examples of specific long-term care facilities and community clinics. You can also find articles from experts that discuss the priorities and skills of the workforce in each type of environment.

You will also complete two peer responses. In each peer response, you will reply to your peers’ posts with thoughtful, substantive ideas. Consider answering some of these questions: Is there anything your peer missed or overlooked? Are there other ideas to consider? Is there a current event or episode that you can bring into the conversation? Expand and deepen the discussion—introduce new concepts or controversies, add thoughtful and insightful questions, and make new connections to your own experiences or the material.

Your initial and reply posts should work to develop a group understanding of this topic. Challenge each other. Build on each other. Always be respectful but discuss this and figure it out together.
