Current and Future Demand for Home Care Aides, Nursing Assistants Certified, Medical Assistants, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Associate's Degree Registered Nurses in Washington State


Description:

With funding from the Washington State Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board, CHWS researchers carried out a study to assess future demand for five specific occupations in Washington State: home care aides, nursing assistants certified, medical assistants, licensed practical nurses, and associate’s degree registered nurses. Of particular interest was how the roles of these occupations may be changing with implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The project included a subcontract with the Western Washington Area Health Education Center.
