Road-book basic requirements for Minimum Data

SetRagnar Gullstrand Michel Van Hoegaerden

Joint Action on EuropeanHealth Workforce Planning and Forecasting

The list of parameters and data depend on the basic principles for the process.

Founding principles

1. Collecting data corresponding to the actions which you can decide on.

2. The data needed depends on the decision maker (University, Min. of Health ...)

3. Collecting data on the main determinants of future demand and supply.

4. Similar HWF planning models for the different professions

5. Monitoring both stocks and, to the extent possible, flows of migrant health workers (OECD-WHO MDS on migration

Example of a Founding principles

Focus on the professions that are most concerned.

Identifying the current situation. Focusing the data collection on destination

countries initially. Monitoring both stocks and, to the extent

possible, flows of migrant health workers Distinguishing immigrant health workers

active in the health sector from those who are not.

Example of founding principles (WHO - migration)

Are there any differences between the professions?

Targets for the MDS

"To give the Decision Maker the number of student intakes to University which have the best probability to match supply and demand in the long term."

Why this target?◦ It is easy to determine the decision and the responsability

of the action.◦ It is acting on a process that has a substantial cost and

use of scarce resources.◦ It is the most common target.

Alternatives (access to specialization, access to licence to practice, .......)?

Example of a target for the MDS

Adapt the supply to the variations of the demand 12

Guarantee a constant supply with the hypothesis of a constant demand 6

Adopt the supply to economic constraints 5Eliminate differences between cities and

rural zones 5Give correct information in order to permit

young people choosing the training pathway 7

Increase the level of education of the population without considering the

demand for professionals 1Adapt the demand to the forseen supply 3
