摘要

This review highlights several of the key demographic, infrastructural, and cultural factors associated with the predicted labor force shortage in the healthcare field. Population dynamics play a significant role in exacerbating the healthcare labor force shortage. These factors work to simultaneously increase the size and proportion of the population needing the most care, namely, the elderly, and also to reduce the availability of physicians and nurses to provide adequate care for the growing elderly population. Physicians and nurses have expressed consistent dissatisfaction with healthcare infrastructure and have cited decreased job satisfaction, further exacerbating the shortage. Potential solutions to the shortage, aside from dramatic changes to the healthcare system, include increased medical and nursing training in geriatrics and gerontology to increase interest, competency, and knowledge of health issues specifically pertaining to the elderly. Other solutions include monetary incentives for geriatric training for nurses and physicians. Any specific measures to remedy this growing problem should be implemented in a timely manner to reduce this critical shortage of healthcare workers that will only continue to grow in the coming decades.
