随着美国心血管疾病负担的持续增加，心血管疾病工作人员如何应对未来挑战的不确定性仍然存在。在医疗保健迅速转变的时代，许多因素影响着心血管劳动力的供需。这个理事会评论严格审查影响心血管劳动力的几个因素。这些因素包括当前的劳动力人口统计和预测，不断变化的医疗保健和实践环境，以及心血管疾病日益增加的负担。最后，我们提出了三个策略来优化劳动力。这些重点是心血管疾病的预防，心血管护理团队的有效利用，以及心脏病专家培训途径的改变。(C)2016年由美国心脏病学会基金会。
As the burden of cardiovascular disease in the United States continues to increase, uncertainty remains on how well-equipped the cardiovascular workforce is to meet the challenges that lie ahead. In a time when health care is rapidly shifting, numerous factors affect the supply and demand of the cardiovascular workforce. This Council Commentary critically examines several factors that influence the cardiovascular workforce. These include current workforce demo-graphics and projections, evolving health care and practice environments, and the increasing burden of cardiovascular disease. Finally, we propose 3 strategies to optimize the workforce. These focus on cardiovascular disease prevention, the effective utilization of the cardiovascular care team, and alterations to the training pathway for cardiologists.
