Health Professions Education and Training (HP-ET) is any program a health center participates in that helps to train clinical staff or related support staff roles. The ACU STAR² Center’s new HP-ET Financial Impact Assessment Tool is designed to help organizations understand how these programs can financially affect health centers, including estimating impact to staff development and satisfaction, which can be harder to calculate using discreet figures.
This assessment tool provides relative impact estimates across four categories: Staff Satisfaction & Retention, Recruitment & Workforce Needs, Staff Development, and Direct Costs & Offsets. It is intended to help assess areas of greatest potential benefit, and see where health centers may experience higher costs or have greatest opportunity for improving the financial sustainability of their HP-ET plans.
