2012 AK Health Workforce Vacancy Study March 2014 Alaska Center for Rural Health, University of Alaska Anchorage D-11 Appendix D

Definitions: 1 Total positions are a count of positions—filled or unfilled. It is NOT a count of Full-time Equivalents (FTE). For example, if two half-time workers comprise one FTE, the number of positions would be “2”. If a worker spends time in more than one occupation, place them in the occupation with the highest requirement for experience and education. If the occupations require the same training and education, place them in the occupation where they spend the most hours per week.

2 Currently filled is the count of people currently working in the occupation. The count includes regular, travelers, locums, temporary, contract, relief or pool employees. 3 Currently vacant is a position that is not filled at the time of this survey. If you are actively recruiting for a position, include that position in column B or F “actively recruiting”. If you are not recruiting for a position, include it in column C or G “NOT actively recruiting”. 4 Permanent positions include any positions that do not have an established start and intended end date. 5 Constantly recruiting means that you actively recruit for positions in this occupation even when they are already filled.

Appendix E: Confidence Intervals for Positions, Vacancies, and Number of Vacancies Filled with New Graduates

2012 AK Health Workforce Vacancy Study March 2014Alaska Center for Rural Health, UAA E-1 Appendix E

Confidence Intervals We calculated ninety-five percent (95%) confidence intervals (α=.05) for the following variables: total number of positions reported in the sample, total number of vacancies reported in the sample, and total number of vacancies that could be filled by new graduates or individuals without any experience. The standard error, which is used to calculate the confidence interval, was calculated using Stata 12; this software package included complex sample design function like the stratified sample design used in this study. The confidence interval needs to be considered for all estimates generated in this report. As they represent the range of possible true values and also confer the level of accuracy based on the limitations of this study. The tables in this appendix are organized as follows: statewide sampled, statewide estimate, estimated by region, and estimate by organization type.
