Massachusetts
Health Care Work Force Survey
Available sectors
New! Massachusetts health and human service providers are experiencing unprecedented workforce shortages. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the health care workforce adversely affects the health outcomes of people of color. These distinct, but related issues of workforce capacity and diversity have clear consequences for access to care, quality of care, cost, and health outcomes.
CHIA launched its first Massachusetts Health and Human Services Workforce Survey (MHCW) in May 2023 to collect information on staffing capacity and diversity across 10 key sectors. The data collected in this survey aim to provide a critical fact base to support ongoing monitoring of workforce trends and to inform state policies and programs in the health and human service sectors.
The inaugural survey completed fielding in January 2024. Results from the first cycle of this survey will be released by sector on a rolling basis, culminating in the publication of a statewide, cross-sector dashboard this spring. Please see the dashboard below for the four sectors currently available.
