The Access ProblemThe Access Problem
• The greatest demand for health care workers is in rural areas
• Moving students to urban areas where programs exist encourages people to leave their communities
• Access to technology in rural areas may not support distributed learning approaches
• Access to student services on-line is limited
The Capacity ProblemThe Capacity Problem
• Community Colleges are not training enough health care workers to meet the current and future need
• Existing Healthcare occupations programs are fully enrolled
• Adding new programs is a lengthy, expensive, and local process

Some DataSome Data
• Approximately 8,000 new healthcare jobs are expected in the next 10 years in rural areas.
• Community colleges train over 50% of the state’s nurses and approximately 75% of the state’s allied healthcare workforce.
• Seventeen healthcare occupations have been identified with certain or likely shortages of trained workers 2005-2014
Some DataSome Data
Nursing and residential care facilities and ambulatory health services are among the projected fastest-growing industries in Oregon, between 2004 and 2014 at 27.7% and 27.3 % respectively.
The census bureau projects that between 2000 and 2025 the state will move from 26th to 4th in national ranking for the percentage of its population 65 or older.
The Distance Learning SolutionThe Distance Learning Solution
AHOSST: Sharing programs and services through a well planned, coordinated, and state supported effort using distance learning is the best way to create a scalable, sustainable, and student centered health occupations education system in Oregon.
The Distance Learning SolutionThe Distance Learning Solution
• Add capacity to existing programs
• Create Host/Provider partnerships between colleges
• Provide a rich array of on-line and local student support services
• Provide clinical experience in local communities

What Resources Do we Have?What Resources Do we Have?
• 16 of the 17 community colleges now offer distance learning
• DOLETA Grants and other projects are providing experience in sharing health occupations education
• State investment in some centralized resources to facilitate sharing

What is Missing?What is Missing?
• Statewide strategy
• Compatible infrastructure
• Common standards
• Operational support
• Secure, ongoing funding
RecommendationRecommendation
1. Coordination: Create centralized leadership to provide state-wide coordination of healthcare occupations education via distributed learning
RecommendationRecommendation
2. Technology: Fund technology infrastructure development, develop and promote technology standards for access, connectivity and use, and provide faculty support, to enable Oregonians to participate in distributed, technology-assisted healthcare occupations education no matter where they reside.
RecommendationRecommendation
3. Agreements: Develop and adopt agreements outlining modes of delivery, curriculum, student services, cost sharing, and other institutional responsibilities that support and promote statewide distribution of health occupations education.
RecommendationRecommendation
4. Student Services: Develop and deliver student services that meet the unique needs of healthcare occupations students participating in distance-delivered instructional models. Expand services statewide to provide resources for “utilities” to assist student services infrastructure development, such as the Online Advisor and the Oregon Financial Aid Exchange (OFAX).
