Objective for today’s presentation 5

• Outline the main components of the model

• Show how we marshaled various datasets to

produce the data inputs for the forecasting model

• Present preliminary forecasts from the model

• Present policy scenarios that can be explored

with the model

Page 6: Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the ... (HHR).pdf · Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the current and future requirements of PSW’s and nurses

Motivation 6

• PSWs are essential in providing care in Long Term Care.

Approximately three-quarters of direct care staff in

Ontario’s LTC sector are PSWs (MOHLTC, 2012).

• Despite their importance in administering care, relatively

little is known about them

• Need for PSW services expected to grow over the years

as proportion of population aged 65+ continues to grow

• From a policy point of view knowing how many PSWs

will be required is essential

LTC PSW Forecasting Model

• Goal: To predict the need and supply of Personal Support Workers

(PSWs) accounting for the supply of Nurses (RPNs and RNs) in

Ontario’s LTC sector by LHIN

• Approach:

– Multi-professional (PSW, RPN, RN)

• Model RN labour force as well as RPNs which has largely

been neglected to date in Canada.

– Currently focusing on one sector-LTC but working to expand to

the community

– Forecast at the level of the LHIN, rather than provincially

– Improve upon existing forecasting models, which have focused

on one profession and have not accounted for the effects of

different skill mixes on output.

Provider Supply (Continued)

• To estimate the future stock of the Nurse and PSW

workforces, we take the current stock, subtract the

expected outflows, and add to it the expected inflows (all by

age), which is outlined by Birch et al. (2007):

• For Nurses, the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) has a

rich, longitudinal database of all nurses in Ontario

• For PSWs, we have the PSW registry, which is cross-

sectional and only (currently) mandatory for PSWs working

in Home and Community Care

How to measure RN/RPN outflows from the LTC sector by

LHIN?

13

RNs and RPNs: Since we have longitudinal data for nurses, we can

calculate transitional probabilities to determine the proportion remaining

in LTC from year to year

•This measure is also known as “stickiness”, a term coined by

Alameddine, Laporte, Baumann, O’Brien-Pallas, Mildon, & Deber

(2006)

– Defined as the transition probability of a nurse working in a

given setting in year ‘‘t’’ remaining in the same setting in year

‘‘t+1’’ (sector)

– We have calculated transitional probabilities for RNs and RPNs

over the years 2005-2010 by age group and LHIN

How to measure outflows of PSWs from the LTC sector by

LHIN?

• Wodchis et al (2015) found the turnover rate of full-time PSW’s in

LTC to be 6.5%. We therefore assume that the LTC sector retains

93.5% of it’s FTE PSW workforce from year to year.

• In terms of outflows per LHIN, we use the same proportions as the

RPN labour force

• In terms of outflows by age, we calculate this based on the PSW

Registry Question: In the next 1-3 years, what do you plan on

doing?

– We obtained an age distribution of PSW’s intending to: retire,

seek employment outside of the PSW field, return to school for a

PSW Certificate, return to school for PSW professional

development or continuing education, or return to school for a

different career.

– We found intention to leave is not limited to the older ages, as a

high proportion of younger PSWs intend to leave as well.

How to measure Nurse (RN, RPN) inflows into the LTC

sector by LHIN?

• RNs and RPNs: Alameddine et al. (2006) also have an inflow

measure, defined as as the percentage of nurses that are working in

a particular setting in year ‘‘t’’, who were not working in that setting

in year ‘‘t-1’’, i.e., were fresh additions to that setting.

• This measure captures nurses who are new additions to the

workforce (new graduates, immigration), returning to the workforce,

and those switching sub-sectors.

• This was estimated using the CNO database for years 2005-2010.

How to measure PSW inflows into the LTC sector by LHIN?

PSWs •Every year, over 7000 PSWs graduate from Ontario

programs (“PSW Educational Program Accreditation”

http://www.pswepa.ca/)

•According to the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges,

and Universities website, 54% of new PSW graduates go

into the “Nursing and residential care facilities” sector

– We therefore assume that 54% of 7000, or 3780 new

PSW graduates enter the LTC sector in each year.

•In the absence of data on inflows across LHINs for PSWs,

we apply the same proportions as the RPN labour force.

20

Page 21: Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the ... (HHR).pdf · Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the current and future requirements of PSW’s and nurses

Demand for Providers

• Before we can estimate the number of required providers, we need

to estimate the number of services required, which can be done

using the following indicators:

21

(1) (2) (3)

This is the needs based approach for estimating the number of services

required by the population, originally created by Birch et al (2007), and

used by CNA (2009) and Murphy et al (2012) to estimate the number of

required services in each sector of Ontario (including Long Term Care).

How does this translate to the number of staff

required? And what about productivity?

Under the traditional uni-professional approach, once the services

required have been estimated, the next step is usually to divide this

number by the rate at which FTE workers can perform them

(productivity) to yield the required number of health workers. The

conceptual framework is usually modeled as follows (adapted from

Murphy et al 2012):

23

Page 24: Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the ... (HHR).pdf · Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the current and future requirements of PSW’s and nurses

Why might this approach be incomplete?

From Auditor General of Ontario (2013 report), as a recommendation to

the MOHLTC:

“…further refine its forecasting models and their capabilities to assess

the impact of various factors on service-provider productivity”

From Health Workforce Australia’s “National Health Workforce

Productivity Modelling – Final Report” (2012):

“Current workforce planning models examine labour productivity of

each health worker (e.g. number of visits per doctor), though in reality

the number of visits each doctor produces is also influenced by nurses,

equipment, and other resources... Models that estimate requirements

for a particular group of health professionals do so independently of

other groups of health professionals, leading to inaccurate results”

How to model workers together?

We need a way to relate services required (output) with the

factors that influence it (PSWs, RNs, RPNs, drug

expenditures, etc.). Conceptually, it would look like this for

the LTC sector:

28

This can be done by estimating a production function

Page 29: Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the ... (HHR).pdf · Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the current and future requirements of PSW’s and nurses

Multi-professional Approach

• We estimate a translog production function, which allows for interactions of the

inputs, thereby allowing for the productivity of one input to depend on the level

of other inputs. It also has a history in the economics literature for use of

determining the complementarity/substitutability of inputs (Hsu et al, 2015).

– We find a statistically significant interaction effect of -0.016 between PSWs

and RPNs, This implies that a 1% increase in the number of RPN hours

leads to a 0.016% decrease in the productivity of a PSW, all else being

equal.

– We also found a positive (though not significant) interaction between RN’s

and PSW’s of 0.008, implying an increase in PSW productivity of 0.008% for

every 1% increase in RN hours.

• These results are supported by qualitative work performed by members of the

team (see Kelly 2015).

– PSWs feel their role is very similar, overlapping, or even identical to that of

RPNs

– The PSWs and key informants do not make comparisons of this nature with

RNs

Policy Scenarios

35

Page 36: Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the ... (HHR).pdf · Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the current and future requirements of PSW’s and nurses

Policy Scenario 1: Initial Gap

• In our base-case scenario, we assume supply is equal to demand in

the base period and do not allow for unmet need.

– This assumption is likely to be false in Ontario, as it does not

take into account clients in the community or hospital waiting for

an LTC bed

• According to a report by the MOHLTC, there was an average of

25,322 clients in the Community and in the Hospital on the waitlist

for LTC in the 2009/10 fiscal year (MOHLTC, 2012).

– Unfortunately, this was not broken down by LHIN, so we

approximated how many individuals per LHIN were on the wait-

list this year by the number of facilities in each of the LHINs.

36

Page 37: Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the ... (HHR).pdf · Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the current and future requirements of PSW’s and nurses

Policy Scenario 2: Diversion of home-care clients on LTC

Wait-list to Community

• Williams et al conducted 11 Balance of Care

(BOC) projects across 10 of the 14 LHINs in

Ontario

• They found that individuals on the LTC wait-list

could be “diverted” safely and cost-effectively

cared for in the family home or in supported

housing. This generally ranged from 14-50%

• We simulate from the lower and upper ends to

explore the effects on the estimated gap in LTC.

37

Page 38: Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the ... (HHR).pdf · Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the current and future requirements of PSW’s and nurses

Policy Scenario 3: Level of staffing and Quality of

Care

• One issue related to LTC Homes in Ontario is the level of staffing used by

homes.

• Data from RCFS suggests that residents were receiving 1.94 PSW hours,

0.91 nurse hours (RN and RPN), and 0.22 Therapist Hours per resident day

in 2009, totaling 3 hours of direct care per resident day.

– These figures are below the recommended 2.5, 1, and 0.5 hours for

PSWs, Nurses, and Other Staff recommended by Shirlee Sharkey’s

2008 report on LTC Homes in Ontario, which equates to 4 hours of care

per resident day.

– To date, these staffing levels have not been implemented (OANHSS,

2015).

• OANHSS’s 2015 report suggests implementing these ratios to improve the

quality of care in LTC homes in Ontario.

• We simulate the effects of these ratios on the projected gap of workers.

Limitations

Demand Side data

•Residential Care Facilities Survey (RCFS)

– Quality of care measures not available. This is not a limitation of the methodology, but rather, the data used

in the study.

• Although we used a volume based measure of care (patient days of care), we could have explored quality

outcomes as well. Such data was not available to use at the time of the study. Future work may look into

exploring this should such data become available

– Only reports total direct care hours (including casuals).

• Future work may explore variation in hours worked across class of works (Full-time, Part-time Casual, etc.)

Supply Side Data

•PSW Registry

– PSW labour force is unregulated, so we don’t have a robust, representative dataset.

– Is only currently mandatory for PSWs working for publicly funded employers in the home and community

sector, so may be unrepresentative (selection bias).

– In contrast to nursing registry, PSW registry is (at least for now) cross-sectional so that we cannot get a

sense of dynamics that are driven by changes in the age distribution.

– Had to source data from other sources (accreditation websites, survey research, Ontario Ministry of

Training, Colleges, and Universities, etc.) to obtain relevant data for forecasting model.

– Inflows from the Home and Community Care and Hospital sectors was assumed to be zero, since data on

these transitions do not currently exist

• Future work will allow for workers to inflow from other sectors (see Berta et al 2015).

40

Page 41: Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the ... (HHR).pdf · Health human resources forecasting: Understanding the current and future requirements of PSW’s and nurses

Value of Forecasting

• Having the appropriate level of staffing available

in LTC will become essential in the upcoming

years as proportion of population aged 65+

continues to grow

• Knowing how may RNs, RPNs, and PSWs will

be required, as well as the projected supply, will

assist us as we plan for this

Conclusions

• Health Human Resource planning is a complex science

requiring detailed data

– Requires longitudinal data to get a sense of dynamics

of workers over time and across regions

• Need to model workforces simultaneously to take into

account interactive effects between workforces

• Vital for LTC with the expected increase in demand for

these services in the upcoming years.

Next Steps

• Funding leveraged through CIHR to expand model to

Home and Community care sector

– Survey data is currently being collected from PSWs

working in LTC and HCC

– With the data collected, we will be able to examine

the factors that affect hours of work and influence

intentions to leave the labour force, as well as

likelihood of working in a particular sector

– The results of the analysis will be used as inputs to

extend the current model to other sectors
