Competition Case Description

2024 BAHM Case Competition Prompt: With a focus on proposing solutions to the workforce shortages challenging health systems across the globe. The event offers students the opportunity to work collaboratively on a timely topic, to network with peers across the globe, and to compete for cash prizes.
Context: Hospital executives are reporting a declining use in agency staffing in the past year (Modern Healthcare, August 21, 2023), and shortages across nearly all patient care disciplines remain. Despite increasing pay and schedule flexibility, organizations continue to struggle with achieving and maintaining staffing levels that balance financial sustainability with adequate performance on industry measures of patient care quality. These shortages appear to be manifesting themselves in labor unrest (e.g., Kaiser) and ongoing labor turnover. Teams will explore local strategies to improve not only the production of health care workers, but also financially sustainable ways to retain the current workforce.
Teams
There are two team formats:
Program team. Programs are invited to field their own team of 3 – 4 students. Program teams may include students from other graduate school programs within the BAHM-member school – including but not limited to MPP, MPA, MPH, MS – as long as at least one student represents an MBA program with a focus on healthcare management.
Joint International Team. In addition to a Program Team, programs may select 1 or 2 students to compete in a Joint International Team (JIT).
JITs must have 4 students with a minimum of one international student, and a maximum of two students from the same program
JIT students will participate in a virtual mixer and will have the option of self-selecting or being assigned to a JIT (self-selection or assignment will take place after the JIT mixer)
