Wisconsin Health Workforce Data Collaborative
Healthcare
SubCommittee
 Data Collaborative awarded one of only three Impact Awards
by the Medical College of Wisconsin’s Healthier Wisconsin
Partnership Program.
 Collaboration of over 30 regional and statewide educational,
labor, employer and government organizations committed to
growing Wisconsin’s health workforce
 Working to address the gap in Wisconsin’s workforce data
analysis and forecasting.

HRSA Forecasting Tool
Healthcare
SubCommittee
 Some federal data regarding the status of certain health
professions is available.
o
For example, the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) has a workforce shortage forecasting tool.
o
However, it is designed to be a national tool, so the small size
of the Wisconsin sample means it is not accurate at the state
level. In addition it is mostly limited to the nursing profession.
 Wisconsin had not conducted comprehensive informationgathering regarding the status and future of the health
occupations around the state.
 Federal funding cuts eliminated updates of reports and
analysis previously generated by the HRSA.
June 23,
2010
Wisconsin Forecasting Tool
Healthcare
SubCommittee
 Developed by DWD staff in 2007
 The idea was to apply the theoretical model developed by
the HRSA to Wisconsin-specific data
 Inability to populate the model with robust data served as a
catalyst for moving the data effort forward

2010 RN Survey Development
Healthcare
SubCommittee
 Senator Robson language was signed into law in 2009
Wisconsin Act 28 (2009-11 Budget Bill) on June 29, 2009
 Mandated completion of survey to renew registered nurse
credentialing.
 Licensed practical nurses will begin completing a similar
survey in 2011 as part of their license credentialing.
 This data collection effort was supported by the Association
of Nurse Educators of Wisconsin (ANEW), the Wisconsin
Center for Nursing (WCN), the Wisconsin Hospital
Association (WHA), the Wisconsin Nurses Association
(WNA), the Wisconsin Nursing Coalition (WNC), and the
Departments of Health Services (DHS), Regulation and
Licensing (DRL), and Workforce Development (DWD).

2010 RN Survey Development (continued)
Healthcare
SubCommittee
 This 2010 survey started with an earlier version used in
2005-06.
 Further developed over the past two years by working
groups and through focus groups.
 Included nursing organizations, public health nurses, and
technical experts, and survey software advisors.
 Workgroups and focus groups provided input on question
development and survey design.
 Used the U.S. Census questionnaire as a template
June 23,
2010
2010 RN Survey Development (continued)
Healthcare
SubCommittee
 The survey also collects information for the national
minimum nurse supply data set
 Incorporating the national minimum data set will enable
Wisconsin to compare nursing data to other states and
national data.
