Effective health workforce planning involves finding a sustainable balance between the supply and demand for diverse health workers, both in the short- and long-term. As part of Health Workforce Canada’s aim to catalyze capacity for workforce planning through modelling, we conducted a pan-Canadian scan of the current state of health workforce demand modelling.
This report shares our findings on how different jurisdictions estimate demand across healthcare provider groups. It also highlights which health provider groups are currently being modelled in Canada to inform workforce planning decisions. Having this information compiled in one place allows health workforce planning teams to build on the work of others in the modelling community to better anticipate workforce shortages and surpluses, ultimately helping ensure Canadians have access to the healthcare services they need.
