  1. Implementation Status of the National Forum of State Nursing Workforce Centers National Nursing Workforce Minimum Datasets for Education, Supply, and Demand Presentation at the June, 2012 Taking the Longview Nurse Workforce Conference Indianapolis, IN Patricia Moulton, PhD; Pamela Wiebusch, BA; Duane Napier, MSN, RN; Jeannie Cimiotti, DNSc, RN; Cynthia Bienemy, PhD, RN and Sandra Anne LeVasseur, PhD, RN

  2. IOM Future of Nursing • Cites the need for improved data collection and an enhanced information infrastructure as requirements for effective workforce planning and policy making. • Data “on the numbers and types of health professionals currently employed, where they are employed and in what roles” is imperative to the establishment of accurate workforce projection models

  3. Our Story • 1995: Colleagues in Caring Minimum Supply Dataset • June, 2008: National Forum of State Nursing Workforce Centers Meeting in Denver, CO • Identified the problem as a priority • Established a subcommittee to assess current data collection practices • Set a goal of producing minimum datasets, the set of core data elements needed for our work • November, 2008: The project design was finalized through a contract between the Center to Champion Nursing in America and the Florida Center for Nursing (acting on behalf of the Forum) • Three additional states invited to participate via CCNA State Education Capacity Teams • A total of 31 states participated in one or more phases of the project

  4. State data assessment (July-December 08) • MDS Survey of States (Jan 09) • Drafting Workgroups (Feb-March) • Data Summit (late March 09) • Public Comment Period (May-June 09) • Ratification (September 09) • Implementation (ongoing) • Final data sets are available at: www.nursingworkforcecenters.org

  5. Where are we Now? • Survey of Forum members regarding implementation of all three data sets Summer/Fall 2011 • Follow-up validation with each center • 30 states completed the survey

  6. 2011 Education Data Set Status

  7. How does that compare to 2008?

  8. Barriers to education data collection include: • firewalls between nursing education programs and the entity collecting data restricting the use of online surveys • large schools use an administrative assistant to collect/report data which is not always accurate • issues with differences in common terminology • data collection doesn’t include proprietary institutions • nursing programs answer multiple surveys in the field and not wanting to respond to another one • slow response rates from Deans/Chairs • cost of data collection • online programs don’t report in and out of state students.

  9. 2011 Supply Data Set Status

  10. How does that compare to 2008?

  11. Barriers to implementing the supply data set include: • low response rates as the survey is not mandatory • server outage issues for online survey that caused a large loss of data • issues with surveying and counting nurses in compact states • cost of analyzing survey responses.

  12. 2011 Demand Data Set Status

  13. How does that compare to 2008?

  14. Demand data collection barriers include: • low response rates • it is time consuming and costly • use of FTE versus head counts • use of Occupational Employment Statistics (BLS) data which doesn’t allow breakdown of data into FTE • full time or part time.

  15. Overall Summary of Findings and Policy Implications The original intention of the Forum’s national minimum data set was to provide an avenue for the collection of a national minimum data set and to enable states to compare their data with other states and with national numbers. Forum and other interested organizations working on putting together National Minimum datasets have many steps to reach this goal. These include: · Determining where the data will be housed and what entity/entities will assemble and maintain the data. · Getting buy-in at the state level for both collecting the minimum dataset and sharing it with the warehousing entity. · Mentoring states with fewer human and fiscal resources in beginning or changing data collection routines. · Determining how the data will be used and under what conditions it will be shared with researchers across the country. · Determining a stable funding source for collection, housing and analysis of data sets.
