The existing oversupply, specialty imbalance, and geographic maldistribution of clinicians are inconsistent with the goals of health system reform in Minnesota. Health professional workforce projections can help the private and public sectors make informed decisions to assure that the future supply of health professionals reasonably approximates requirements. Appropriate methodologies for projecting national health professional requirements, based on existing HMO staffing patterns, should be applied to Minnesota. In the absence of workforce projections, a variety of assumptions about changes in Minnesota's health care system that will affect workforce supply and requirements can, nonetheless, be made. Limitations on the state's ability to influence the health professional workforce within its borders are noted.
目前临床医生供应过剩、专业失衡以及地理分布不均的情况与明尼苏达州卫生系统改革的目标相悖。卫生专业人员劳动力预测有助于私营和公共部门做出明智决策，以确保卫生专业人员的未来供应合理接近需求。应将基于现有健康维护组织人员配置模式来预测全国卫生专业人员需求的适当方法应用于明尼苏达州。尽管在没有劳动力预测的情况下，可以对明尼苏达州医疗保健系统中会影响劳动力供应和需求的各种变化做出假设。文中指出了该州影响其境内卫生专业人员劳动力的能力存在的局限性。
