Projects
California Health Workforce Alliance: Core Mission Support
Current workforce development efforts in California are fragmented and lack the scale, optimal geographic distribution, and sustainability to address current and projected needs. The California Health Workforce Alliance will provide a dedicated infrastructure to develop and implement more systematic, coordinated health workforce solutions. It will also be a catalyst and innovator for delivery system and corresponding practice model change.

The goal of this project is to support the California Health Workforce Alliance's efforts to develop tools for ongoing dialogue, planning, policy development, coordination and action with sector partners and stakeholders.
Collaboration with the State Health Workforce Development Council
The California Health Workforce Alliance will collaborate with the State Health Workforce Development Council and California workforce funders to guide discussions and recommendations for increasing workforce and diversity initiatives in the healthcare industry.
Community Health Workers, Promotores and the Triple Aim: Taking Innovation to Scale
The California Health Workforce Alliance (CHWA) is conducting a statewide assessment that examines specific contributions of community health workers (CHWs)/promotores (Ps) related to Triple Aim goals. A report of findings and recommendations that includes case profiles will be disseminated in July 2013. The report will build consensus among CHWA’s diverse membership and lay the groundwork for a second project to convene a statewide taskforce and implement strategies that take the engagement of CHWs/Ps to scale.
Primary Care Residency Project Implementation
The California Workforce Alliance will conduct a review and gap analysis, and then develop a strategic plan to increase the yield and distribution of primary care residency graduates aligned with projected needs.
