Collecting and Analyzing Healthcare Workforce Data
Many organizations need to collect data to gain information that can be used for the purposes of strategic planning, addressing specific issues or challenges within the organization, program evaluation, respond to board members and advisory boards or to acquire preliminary data to obtain funding for various initiatives. There are also organizations that collect copious amounts of data about the healthcare professionals they license or employ or the students enrolled in their academic programs, but may not have the resources needed to analyze the data and develop reports in a concise and meaningful manner that can be shared with board members, administrators, accrediting agencies, potential funders, and other interested stakeholders.
Developing Data Driven Reports that are used to address specific healthcare workforce Issues
Data that is collected and analyzed must be presented in a format that is concise and easily understood by those that are in a position to impact change, such as board members, executives, legislators, administrators and potential funders to name a few. These reports along with graphical presentations of data that can be easily interpreted and applied to real life situations can be used to inform and impress.

Coalition Builder
Dr. Bienemy served as the Co-Lead for the Louisiana Action Coalition which is a part of the now, National Academy of Medicine Future of Nursing Campaign for Action, for approximately 10 years, beginning with its inception in December 2010. Serving as Co-lead for a state coalition that is a part of a national coalition whose entire purpose is to prepare nurses, which represent the largest sector of the healthcare workforce, to take a leadership role in building a culture of health by addressing the social determinants of health, alleviating health disparities and addressing the inequities that exist in our current healthcare system.

Knowing that the goal or desired cannot be obtained by any one member of the coalition, but that it will take everyone bringing their efforts, energies and expertise to the table to truly make a positive difference with an impact that will be sustainable for years to come.
