A new initiative from the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute (PHI) and the Institute for the Future of Aging Services (IFAS) is designed to help providers and other interested parties develop creative ideas to address the workforce crisis in long-term care. The Practice Profile Database, housed on PHI’s National Clearinghouse on the Direct Care Workforce website, outlines programs designed to improve the recruitment, training, and retention of direct-care workers who care for the elderly and people living with physical and mental disabilities. Each profile includes a program description, links to additional information, and contact information for people who want to learn more. The project is part of two long-term care workforce initiatives funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). More information about the two HHS initiatives is included on the Clearinghouse website (www.directcareclearinghouse.org), which has been redesigned to include this new feature and to make it easier to access the site’s other extensive resources. To access the profiles, go to www.directcareclearinghouse.org/practices.
