Workforce Development

Building a strong workforce for Indiana’s seniors

Developing a skilled workforce for the long term care profession.

Recruitment and retention of direct care workers is one of the largest challenges facing long term care providers across the nation. An increased demand for services due to an aging population and a declining supply of individuals seeking and maintaining careers in this profession are factors responsible for a looming workforce crisis. It will take a significant effort to attract, recruit and retain skilled workers.

IHCA/INCAL is dedicated to supporting our members in their efforts to recruit, train and retain quality staff. Learn more about our workforce development offerings and how they might be of use to you.

End of Indiana's COVID-19 Registry for Healthcare Practitioners

Per the linked release from the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA), the COVID-19 registry for health care providers is set to expire on May 11, 2023.

To ensure continuity to lawfully practice in the state of Indiana, the IPLA strongly advises all practitioners who currently hold an emergency practitioner temporary license to begin the process of applying for an unlimited license to practice, or any separate temporary license that may be available to the practitioner.

This registry had been used throughout the pandemic to expeditiously allow health care professionals to practice in Indiana. It also allowed out of state practitioners, recent graduates and recent retirees to enter the workforce immediately, separate of IPLA’s normal licensing processes. The registry will expire on May 11, 2023 in accordance with IC 25-1-5.7 and the conclusion of the federal public health emergency.
