2. “Minimum Data Set”

3. D051: Targets
TARGETS 1
Must allow to assess the current situation and to identify future imbalances vs. overall evaluation of the supply and the demand for healthcare.
INDICATOR
Coverage of future demand (comprehensive) =
FUTURE SUPPLY / FUTURE DEMAND
stratified by profession
How to measure it?

4. D051: Targets
TARGETS 2
Must allow to evaluate the impact of basic action to correct those imbalances.
Identify major affordability aspects of HWF.
First evaluation on impact of imbalances on quality.
INDICATOR
Affordability =
FUTURE HEALTH CONSUMPTION /
CURRENT HEALTH CONSUMPTION

5. D051: Targets How to measure it? 3 INDICATOR
Must allow to evaluate the impact of basic action to correct those imbalances.
Monitor overall coverage.
Identify detailed imbalances.
Identify if domestic production meets the needs.
First evaluation on impact of imbalances on quality.
INDICATOR
Coverage of future demand (detailed) =
FUTURE SUPPLY DOMESTIC +
FUTURE POTENTIAL SUPPLY FROM ABROAD /
FUTURE DEMAND
Coverage of needs by foreign professionals today and in the future
N° of professionals with foreign first qualification /
Total n° of professionals

6. D051: Targets How to measure it? 4 INDICATOR
Must allow to evaluate the impact of basic action to correct those imbalances.
Monitor geographical variances of coverage.
INDICATOR
N° of professionals per inhabitant today and in the future =
N° OF PROFESSIONALS /
POPULATION
N° of professionals per weighted inhabitant today and in the future
population weighted by the consumption per age group
(basic index: average of EU countries)

10. Some good practices in quantitative approachBE
Good practice on data collection of the supply side, with an in-depth analysis on how the process works, how data on "practicing" and "active" are collected, how FTE is calculated. NL
Good practice on data collection, in particular on FTE estimation (examples, detailed description of the process, tools, etc). EN
Good practice on data collection process

11. Some good practices in quantitative approachNL
Good practice on how to assess the current imbalances: a concrete example (on general practitioners) of which indicators and standard used to estimate current imbalances DK
Good practice on the supply side forecasting "easy and flexible", main aspects of the model, available tools, etc. NO
Good practice on forecasting the HWF demand

12. Main message about quantitative approaches in the handbook
Qualitative and quantitative forecasting methods in health workforce planning: A brief discussion of overarching concerns by Melanie Boeckmann
Integration of qualitative and quantitative methods in workforce planning is desirable.
Scenario generation for estimating future supply and demand relies on a structured qualitative method, and quantifying scenarios allows these plausible futures to be projected
Examples from both methodologies can be found in this handbook
