Healthcare & Clinical Workforce

Strengthening healthcare talent pipelines to support quality, access, and system performance.

Healthcare organizations are navigating unprecedented complexity—workforce shortages, evolving care models, regulatory change, and rapid advances in clinical and digital technologies. Building and sustaining a capable healthcare workforce has become a critical driver of care quality, operational performance, and long-term system resilience.

Effective healthcare and clinical workforce development helps organizations prepare professionals across roles—from frontline clinicians to care teams and operational leaders—to deliver high-quality care, adapt to change, and respond to emerging patient and community needs.

The programs surfaced on the E2i Platform reflect deep clinical and workforce expertise developed by experienced learning organizations and are designed to support healthcare systems, employers, and partners at different stages of workforce development and scale.

Common Partnership Approaches

Healthcare and clinical workforce capability is often developed through partnership models such as:

  • Employer-sponsored clinical education and training cohorts

  • Academic–health system partnerships for degree and credential pathways

  • Workforce pipelines for nursing, allied health, and clinical specialties

  • Work-based and experiential learning aligned to care delivery environments

  • Regional and sector-based healthcare workforce initiatives

When helpful, E2i Impact Architects support partners in shaping the right partnership approach based on workforce demand, clinical context, and implementation readiness.

E2i’s Role

E2i supports alignment and collaboration by:

  • Making healthcare and clinical education expertise visible and accessible to employers

  • Helping employers identify learning partners aligned to workforce and care delivery needs

  • Supporting partnership conversations when requested

  • Providing structure for co-creation when deeper engagement or pilots are desired

As partnerships and pilots emerge, shared outcomes are defined and refined collaboratively—connecting learning to workforce performance, care delivery priorities, and system-level goals.

Who This Capability Is For — And Why It Matters

This Healthcare & Clinical Workforce capability supports:

  • Healthcare employers and systems building sustainable, high-quality clinical and care teams

  • Schools and learning organizations with healthcare, clinical, and workforce expertise seeking visibility with employer partners

  • Impact Architects guiding aligned healthcare workforce partnerships and talent pipelines

  • Regional, sector-based, and community initiatives addressing healthcare workforce access and capacity

The Platform enables healthcare employers to discover credible learning partners, learning organizations to surface their expertise, and Impact Architects to bridge education and workforce strategy—without forcing standardized or transactional models.

Flexible by Design.

Participation in the E2i Platform does not require engagement across all E2i services.

Organizations may choose to:

  • Showcase healthcare and clinical programs for visibility and discovery

  • Engage guided partnership pathways when workforce alignment or structure is needed

  • Apply additional E2i support only when and where it adds value

Each component is designed to stand alone—and work better together when appropriate.
