The Workforce Subcommittee on Long Term Care was formed under the Vermont Health Care Innovation Project’s Healthcare Workforce Work group, as an alternative to Vermont House Bill 301. This bill, introduced in the 2013-2014 legislative session, proposed to establish a task force that would assess whether the need to train and license Direct Care Workers exists. The subcommittee was formed in March, 2014, met for a total of 6 months, and published a report containing findings and recommendations for state and key stakeholders to consider regarding the need for training and licensure in Vermont of Direct Care Workers in future.
