This paper documents Nova Scotia Health's progress in operationalizing integrated needs-based workforce planning as part of its ongoing response to the pandemic. A multidisciplinary workforce planning team with representation spanning key portfolios was created to facilitate the organization's response to the pandemic. Analyses applied early in Wave 3 of the pandemic showed large projected shortages in several professions and identified which services would likely be scarcest among the available workforce relative to patient need. Based on these results, the workforce planning team recommended and supported operational teams in implementing a multi-faceted set of interventions aimed at increasing the availability of individuals with these competencies. These interventions collectively yielded an adequate supply of additional competent personnel to meet the needs of COVID-19 inpatients across the province through the third wave of the pandemic. Lessons learned are proving critical to maintaining core operations during Wave 4 of the pandemic.
本文记录了新斯科舍省卫生署在实施基于综合需求的劳动力规划方面的进展，该规划是其应对大流行的持续响应的一部分。成立了一个多学科劳动力规划团队，团队成员代表了关键部门，以促进该组织对大流行的应对。在大流行的第 3 波早期进行的分析表明，在几个专业领域预计会出现大量短缺，并确定了相对于患者需求，哪些服务在现有劳动力中可能最稀缺。基于这些结果，劳动力规划团队建议并支持运营团队实施了一系列多方面的干预措施，旨在增加具备这些能力的人员的可用性。这些干预措施共同提供了足够数量的额外合格人员，以满足全省 COVID-19 住院患者在第 3 波大流行期间的需求。在大流行的第 4 波期间，所吸取的经验教训对于维持核心运营至关重要。
