Health Workforce Survey Aims to Target Employer Workforce Needs
The Center for Health Workforce Studies at the University of Washington is seeking your input to help guide future decisions across the state about how to strengthen data resources for health workforce policy and planning. The workforce planning survey will help inform policymakers about the state of the workforce. This is an important opportunity to share your experiences.
What’s the Health Workforce Study About?
The Center for Health Workforce Studies is gathering input to describe the level of interest in a variety of questions commonly asked about the health workforce, such as the number of workers, where they’re needed most, and who they serve. Your insights will help us prioritize the questions and identify the data needed to answer them. Findings will be shared with the Washington Department of Health, who is funding this project, and in a publicly available report.
