Care Anywhere: The Global Health Workforce Podcast includes discussions with thought leaders and innovators who are tackling these issues, as well as the voices of health workers around the world who face these challenges every day of their lives.

Listeners and viewers can subscribe now through their favorite podcast streaming sites including Apple Podcast, Spotify, and YouTube, as well as via the CGFNS website, where a new episode will drop every two weeks.

Four episodes of Care Anywhere are available now. In the most recent one, ICN: Investing in the Future of the Global Nurse Workforce, guest Howard Catton, CEO of the International Council of Nurses, provides his perspectives on addressing the projected global shortage of 13 million nurses at the end of this decade.

Other available episodes include:

  • Raising all Boats: Building Capacity for Global Health. Mary Sebert, Director of Global Nursing at Massachusetts General Hospital's Center for Global Health, is interviewed on the challenges and opportunities facing the global health workforce, focusing on how capacity building and education are essential in addressing workforce shortages.

  • The Next Frontier in Nursing: Embracing Tech & AI. Two leading figures in nursing informatics, Kathleen McGrow, Chief Nursing Informatics Officer (CNIO) at Microsoft, and Romina Elias, CNIO at Dell Technologies, explore how technology is transforming the future of nursing and healthcare.

  • Care Anywhere: The Journey Begins. The inaugural episode features Dr. Peter Preziosi, President and CEO of CGFNS International, Inc., and Julia To Dutka, Chief of the CGFNS Global Health Workforce Development Institute, who explore the evolving landscape of healthcare, workforce shortages, and the need for innovation in credentialing and workforce development.

In the coming months, Care Anywhere will also feature working nurses and other healthcare professionals describing their experiences and the challenges they face in their career mobility journeys. Subjects will include their pathways to education and credentialing, their career advancement decisions, and what they are doing today to lead care model evolution within their health systems.

"Understanding and addressing global health workforce challenges is increasingly important to advancing the health workers and health systems worldwide. We see this podcast series catalyzing global opportunities with people and organizations interested in improving population health, health equity, and health access as we explore the workforce in the context of care model evolution," said Preziosi.

Care Anywhere is hosted by Lea Sims, CGFNS Chief Marketing and Communications Officer. Sims has 30 years in health information management, health IT, and healthcare communications. She is the former global healthcare practice leader for Verizon Enterprise and founding host of Verizon's Healthcare on Air podcast.

"I'm looking forward to great conversations with nurses, educators, regulators, and others who are thoughtfully focused on solving workforce development challenges in healthcare," said Sims. "We're at a powerful intersection where global shortages are critical and there are big problems to solve, but there has also never been a more exciting time to be a nurse or healthcare worker. New technologies, shifting practice roles, and the opportunity to lead care evolution across global health systems-we're going to dive into all of those industry drivers."
