Full implementation of the Affordable Care Act has brought change to the hiring needs of medical practices and the health care industry.

While staff turnover and the physician shortage remain the key problems, recruiting a new set of staff members has become the third biggest concern, according to a report from Health eCareers.

To keep in step with the ACA, practices might consider the following staff changes:

• Integrate technologists across the continuum of care.

• Hire more case management professionals.

• Keep hiring more educated nurses.

• Emphasize data.

Data from the Health eCareers’ 2015 Healthcare Recruiting Trends Survey Report came from 565 healthcare employers and recruiters, customers of Health eCareers, who were surveyed in late 2014 and early 2015.
