Collaboration at Work
1. Learn the history, need and purpose for the WI nursing survey
2. Understand the process of the survey development and execution
3. Identify key data points that the RN census will reveal about the WI nursing workforce
4. Explore the model for forecasting the future supply and demand for WI nurses, and its application to other health care workforce groups (and an overview of the lab survey)
Council on Workforce Investment (CWI), Health Care Sub-Committee
WI Health Workforce Data Collaborative • MCW Grant• Collaboration of multiple partners• Passionate about addressing the gap in data
needed to forecast future healthcare workforce needs
No comprehensive data collection efforts had been conducted in WI
Limited Federal Data applicable to WI
Funding cuts to HRSA for reports and analysis
Needs for forecasting workforce supply and demand for Wisconsin to inform decisions
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.

Lessons Learned (and learning…)
74,000 RNs in Wisconsin Average age 46 years 93% Female, 7% Male
And we’ll soon know a lot more…
Total # RN’s licensed in WI Total # RN’s employed as RN % Female/% Male % in Direct Patient Care Age distribution % of RNs over age 50 by work setting Average age by work setting Ethnicity Highest level of nursing education #Advanced Practice nurses Employed # hours
The forecasting model estimates ratios of FTE RN’s to population by 13 age groups and gender
Ratios projected based on historical patterns Ratios implicitly capture graduates,
migration, disability, death, retirement, and career change
Driving force for supply projections is changing demographics
Data: Census of All Licensed RNs in WI
Model assumes health care usage remains constant over time, incorporating population growth & age changes
Nurse staffing intensity is assumed to remain constant over time
Model captures employment settings where 90% of the RN’s are employed
Future improvements will project changes in usage and staffing intensity
