  6. How is this unique? regional multi-dimensional • dynamic • ongoing • a network of sensors embedded within the healthcare workforce system

  7. Today … We have started to lay the foundation for a comprehensive system, using employment forecast and policy simulation. We think in terms of three components, although inextricable: supply, demand, connectors

  8. Supply side issues: example

  9. The problem has many facets.

  10. DOL Community Audit Grant supported our initial research • National literature review • Analysis of existing data Census Bureau, BLS, Nat’l Center for Health Workforce Information and Analysis, state data centers, professional associations

  11. Methods (continued) • Linking and completing fragmented info systems

  12. East-West Gateway: Methods (Continued) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) To display spatial associations and emphasize regional dimensions

  13. Methods (continued) • Focus groups and interviews “Many patients have unique needs and feel more comfortable being cared for by someone who looks like them, acts like them, and can speak their language. Immigrants and refugees can be an important asset.”

  14. Focus Groups & Interviews - Continued • “[Consider] RNs who have been out of nursing for years and want to come back. They are intimidated by new advances in technology and medicine, and decide to look somewhere else to work….” • “If we don’t address hospital working conditions, we will never be able to address the [nursing] shortage.”

  15. DemandSide Issues • Medicare/Medicaid • Private Payers, HMOs, PPOs, etc. • Physician Induced Demand/Defensive Medicine • Certificate of Need • HIPAA of 1996 • Demographic Trends

  16. Where We Are • Initial Steps to Building a Healthcare Workforce Modeling System: Current Progress

  24. Where We’re Going • Next Step: Build Regional Representative Hospital

  25. FAPRI:The Representative Farm Approach • Panel of Farmers • Benefits of ‘Representative’ as opposed to ‘Average’ • Ability to talk about micro or local concerns as opposed to macro • Kinds of questions one can answer • Communication opportunities

  26. First and Foremost Up to local health care to determine what questions need answering Use models to communicate to policy makers Does require some openness to build operations Multiple types of operations Representative Hospitals

  27. Future Course of Action • Labor supply & wage models • Occupational demand models • Policy simulations • Supply side / connectors research • Working groups in place • Positioned within Regional process • Sustainable resources
