Wisconsin Health Workforce Data Collaborative

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

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 information-

gathering 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.

Wisconsin Forecasting Tool

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

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)

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

Committee

2010 RN Survey Development (continued)

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.
