    Healthcare organizations depend on accurate data to make solid business decisions. Comprehensive provider supply and demand data is no exception; this vital data is used to make determinations on the number and type of providers practicing within a specific geography, where to prioritize recruitment efforts, make accurate succession planning decisions, and identify where new and existing providers in the market should practice to improve patient access. Thus, getting to this accurate data and learning how to use it optimally is vital for hospitals and health systems looking to grow, manage costs, and better meet clinical needs. Sentara Health is an integrated, not-for-profit healthcare delivery system and one of the largest health systems in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, and among the top 20 largest not-for-profit integrated health systems in the country. To support their 12 urban and rural hospitals in Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina, Sentara utilizes a programmatic approach to workforce planning. This session will share their process for how to collect and use accurate, real-time data to drive their provider recruitment plans across their markets and overall strategic workforce planning and the outcomes of such an approach.
