Featuring Bianca Frogner
As everyone in primary care tries to shift to team based models of care, task shift, and deliver value rather than volume, we are all looking at staffing and workforce issues. What is the best way to staff a clinic? Should we hire more MAs or LPNs or nurses or NPs? How should we think about these decisions?
Our guest today to talk about workforce is Bianca Frogner, PhD. Dr. Frogner is an Associate Professor and health economist in the Department of Family Medicine in University of Washington’s School of Medicine. Dr. Frogner is also the Director of the Center for Health Workforce Studies. She publishes extensively about workforce issues, particularly in the community health center setting. You can find many of her publications here.
