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

 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.
