Health Care Workforce Needs Assessment and Provider Incentives Evaluation for Oregon
Description:
Teams at both UW CHWS and the WWAMI Rural Health Research Center are working in collaboration with the Oregon Health Authority to conduct a health care workforce needs assessment and an evaluation of provider incentives for the state of Oregon. This project will result in two reports to the Oregon legislature in January 2027. Project objectives include examining policy and programmatic influences on the Oregon health workforce, providing an overview of the primary care, behavioral health, and oral health workforce groups in Oregon, conducting a formal evaluation of Oregon’s provider incentives programs, and detailing recommendations to address identified needs.
