- Abstract:
- In February 2019, the California Future Health Workforce Commission released a report that identified 10 priorities for action to ensure that California has sufficient numbers of the right types of workers in the right places to meet the needs of the state's growing, aging, and increasingly diverse population. Assessing the extent to which the California legislature and state agencies are implementing these recommendations is especially important given the large role that the state government plays in funding health workforce development and health professions education. This report describes provisions of California's state budget for fiscal year 2019-2020 that either directly fund the Commission's priority recommendations or fund other initiatives that are consistent with these recommendations. In cases where the 2019-2020 budget does not explicitly state how appropriations for health workforce development programs should be spent, we present recommendations for allocating the funds. In addition, we make recommendations for state budget allocations for fiscal year 2020-2021 that would advance the priority recommendations that we believe are most critical to making rapid progress in addressing the state's health workforce needs. Table 1 lists the Commission's 10 priority recommendations, the Commission's estimate of the cost of implementing each recommendation in Year 1, the amount allocated in the 2019-2020 state budget to implement that recommendation, and our recommendations for budget allocations for fiscal year 2020-2021.
