Talent acquisition rises up the agenda, and hospitals are looking beyond compensation for solutions.

From rising costs to an aging population, today’s hospital leaders have no shortage of concerns. However, they are all connected to a single issue—the need to acquire talent.

The survey reveals that talent is becoming a more pressing issue.

Now it is the second-leading issue for the industry, according to survey respondents.
