HITshow: Workforce, Workforce, Workforce with Qualified Health Founder and CMO Dr. Keda Mate

Workforce, Workforce, Workforce

That’s the top concern nearly every healthcare leader shares — and Dr. Kedar Mate, Founder and CMO of Qualified Health, is helping lead the charge to solve it.

In this episode of HITshow, Dr. Mate discusses his work as a commissioner on the Higher Education as a Strategic Asset (HESA) task force — a group that recently delivered a bold and urgent report to the President, Congress, and the public.

🚀 The report is titled “America’s Talent Moonshot” — and it’s a nationwide call to rethink and rebuild the workforce of the future.

🧠 “There was a view that today’s challenges… required our universities and colleges to better prepare our students for future work in the 21st-century economy.”

⚠️ Healthcare’s future is on the line.
“We face an absolute deficit of person power to achieve better care and better health outcomes for the people of this country.”

🧑‍💻 But this isn’t just about filling roles — it’s about launching a workforce built to thrive: “We called for more investment in strategic areas like artificial intelligence and healthcare… to create a workforce that’s technology capable, AI-ready, and built to last.”

🌍 And the long game? Global competitiveness.
“If the U.S. is going to remain globally competitive, we must prepare a workforce that’s skilled, talented, and ready for the 21st century.”
