CTeL Member Closed Door Policy Meeting: Clinician Shortage

The morning session will center on the immediate and urgent need to declare the persistent nursing and clinician shortage a national public health emergency. This follows CTeL's recent engagement with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in June 2025, where the severity of this crisis was undoubtedly a key discussion point.

The session will likely highlight the critical implications of this shortage, which include:

  • Deterioration of Patient Care and Outcomes: Emphasizing how insufficient staffing directly impacts patient safety, access to care, and the overall quality of healthcare services.

  • Worsening Clinician Burnout and Attrition: Discussing the unsustainable strain on existing healthcare professionals, leading to increased burnout, reduced job satisfaction, and further departures from the workforce.

  • Exacerbated Health Disparities: Addressing how the shortage disproportionately affects vulnerable populations and rural areas, widening existing gaps in healthcare access.

  • Threat to Public Health Preparedness: Underscoring how a depleted workforce compromises the nation's ability to effectively respond to future health crises, pandemics, and other emergencies.

The declaration of a public health emergency would likely unlock various federal resources and flexibilities, which the working group will explore, such as:

  • Expanded Funding and Grant Opportunities: For nursing and medical schools to increase capacity, attract new students, and retain faculty.

  • Regulatory Waivers and Flexibilities: Potentially easing licensing barriers across state lines, expanding telehealth services, and allowing for innovative care delivery models.

  • Financial Incentives: Such as loan repayment programs, tax credits, and scholarships to attract and retain healthcare professionals in underserved areas and critical specialties.

  • Workforce Development and Retention Strategies: Including initiatives to support clinician well-being, address administrative burdens, and create more supportive work environments.

The morning session aims to build on CTeL's discussions with HHS, solidifying a unified call to action for federal recognition and intervention to address this pressing crisis and ensure a robust and resilient healthcare workforce for the nation.

CTeL Member Closed Door Meeting: AI Liability

This meeting will bring together key leaders and "game changers" in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within healthcare.

The central focus of the discussion will be on how liability issues will impact the delivery of care in an increasingly AI-driven healthcare landscape. This is a critical concern as AI is rapidly being integrated into diagnostics, treatment, and administrative tasks, raising questions about accountability in cases of medical error or adverse outcomes.

The working group will likely delve into topics such as:

  • Understanding the evolving AI landscape in healthcare: Discussing the various roles AI plays and how to align solutions with regulatory and reimbursement pathways.

  • Navigating the regulatory and policy landscape: Examining current and future regulations, including state and federal frameworks, and how they will shape the development and adoption of AI.

  • Addressing liability concerns: Exploring who bears responsibility when AI systems are involved in patient care (clinicians, developers, virtual care providers), and strategies to mitigate risks for all stakeholders.

  • Ensuring responsible AI use: Discussing issues like algorithmic bias, data privacy, security vulnerabilities, and how to ensure AI is used safely, transparently, and equitably to improve patient outcomes.

This meeting aims to foster an interactive and engaging platform for networking and collaborative discussions, bringing together thought leaders, policymakers, and industry professionals to stay informed about the latest developments and shape the future of AI in healthcare.
