THE JOINT ACTION HEALTH WORKFORCE PLANNING AND FORECASTING
The main objective of the Joint Action Health Workforce Planning and Forecasting is to provide a platform for collaboration and exchange between partners, to better prepare Europe’s future health workforce. The Joint Action aims at improving the capacity for health workforce planning and forecasting, by supporting the collaboration and exchange between Member States and by providing state of the art knowledge on quantitative and qualitative planning. By participating in the Joint Action, competent national authorities and partners are expected to increase their knowledge, improve their tools and succeed in achieving a higher effectiveness in workforce planning processes.
The HANDBOOK ON HEALTH WORKFORCE PLANNING METHODOLOGIES ACROSS EU COUNTRIES contributes to achieving this aim by
- analyzing selected planning systems implemented in EU countries,
- describing a set of related good practices,
- presenting useful insights concerning critical points of the health workforce planning, in order to provide information and advice on “minimum requirements” of a planning system
