Activity focus – Objectives
• Better HWF planning by better collections of required data
• Provide updated information on mobility trends of the HWF based on the current data
• How to collect better/useful data in order to support HWF planning?
Based on WP4 Activity 1 - Terminology mapping and Activity 2 - Mobility Research and
Collaboration and outputs of WP5 4

Exchange of good practices in planning methodologies
1. European catalogue (“database”) of good practices and quantitative methodologies → Planning methodologies
2. Minimum dataset for health workforce planning (data, frequently used data and data groups available, crucial, accessible in all/most countries, key indicators) → Minimum dataset (Finalization planned for February 2014)
Utilizing WP5 outputs
• How to develop more sophisticated and effective workforce planning structures and models to forecast the needs and shortage of "regulated" health professions
• Characteristics and crucial parameters of existing planning methodologies in different countries will be analyzed and described
• How to build or improve for more effective planning methodologies

Activity working methods
Activity 3 is mainly based on: Discussions, discussions , discussions Summarizing experiences and good practices of MSs
8
Important steps of Activity 3
9
A) Identification of gaps: On the basis of existing data collection structures identified, comparison with the minimum key indicators defined by WP5. Summary from each country based on a template.
B) Identification of practical problems: Identification of the causes for some countries not collecting data with planning purpose (workshops with participating MSs), and/or not using existing data for planning purposes - and related practical problems.
C) Discussion on the key indicators/minimum data set with national authorities, (e.g. workshops, conference calls) and asking for feedback/validation on the availability of data
