Having written about staffing shortages from several angles, I want to explore a forgotten group: those that have been or are currently in the legal system. Addressing the obvious concern of safety for our elders is of course most important, but if there was a vetting procedure and a way to closely track those wanting to enter or re-enter the healthcare field it might be a worthwhile exercise both to help fill the vast vacancies in staffing and to get these prior offenders back into society as a valuable citizen.
