Synthesis: Ongoing workforce shortages—including among Gen Z nurses, CRNAs, and specialist providers—continue to challenge value-based care transformation, with downstream impacts for ACOs and risk-bearing entities reliant on team-based, efficient care models. Ohio’s recent shift from physician supervision to a collaborative framework for CRNAs modernizes state regulations but may be offset by a new federal policy restricting student loan limits for professional degrees, which could further exacerbate nurse anesthetist shortages nationwide as early as this July according to Becker’s. These supply constraints, already intensifying pressures on ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and population health initiatives, underscore the need for urgent workforce strategies under the healthcare leadership of President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
