Prediction
By 2030 youngest baby boomers – those born in the early 1960’s will mostly have retired and the U.S. will face the fallout of a permanently smaller labor force, barring a major change in immigration policy or some other surge in population.

Supply and demand projections
Michigan’s health care workforce needs are projected to grow 18% - or 108,000 jobs – by 2018.1
Need is at all levels from direct care workers, to registered nurses, to professionals with advanced degrees like physicians, APRNs, and Physician Assistants.
Michigan will need 6,000 additional physicians and 5,000 nurses by 2020. 2
Geographic maldistribution of health care providers will continue to limit access in rural and underserved urban communities. Michigan has 507 communities designated Health Professional Shortage areas.

Leveraging clinician supply
Physician supply can be leveraged through greater use of other clinician types
Clinicians can be leveraged through greater use of other licensed non-clinicians and non-licensed personnel.
Studies have found that up to 24% of a primary care team physician’s time could be saved by delegating to other team members.
