Drawing on insights from KPMG healthcare leaders around the world, the report provides practical actions and strategic perspectives to help organizations redesign work, unlock workforce capacity and build a more sustainable future for healthcare delivery. 


      Closing the healthcare workforce gap

      Three routes to transforming healthcare productivity


      The workforce is now a defining constraint on healthcare performance. Across health systems, shortages of skilled clinicians, increasing administrative burdens and persistent workforce burnout have created a cycle that cannot be solved simply by recruiting more people or expecting existing teams to work harder.


      Improving healthcare productivity starts with rethinking how work is organized. By placing the workforce at the center of redesign and using technology to support clinical teams, we can release valuable capacity, reduce administrative burdens and improve access to care.
