The concept of supply and demand is well established within the health economy of the UK. However, complex health and social care needs, associated with an ageing population, pose a novel challenge to NHS resources and, in particular, its workforce. Although existing strategies adopt a more linear approach to clinical activity and workforce demands, the Workforce Repository and Planning Tool process draws upon the principles of 'realist' data evaluation to combine -empirical evidence, practical experience and clinical theory to offer transformation strategies for an NHS workforce that is fit for purpose and its patients.
供需概念在英国的医疗卫生经济中已得到充分确立。然而,与人口老龄化相关的复杂健康和社会护理需求,给英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)的资源,尤其是其劳动力,带来了新的挑战。尽管现有策略对临床活动和劳动力需求采取了更为线性的方法,但劳动力资源库与规划工具流程借鉴了“现实主义”数据评估原则,将实证证据、实践经验和临床理论结合起来,为适应目标需求及其患者的NHS劳动力提供转型策略。
