  1. The Wisconsin RN Workforce Survey Collaboration at Work

  2. Objectives: Learn the history, need and purpose for the WI nursing survey Understand the process of the survey development and execution Identify key data points that the RN census will reveal about the WI nursing workforce Explore the model for forecasting the future supply and demand for WI nurses, and its application to other health care workforce groups (and an overview of the lab survey)

  3. History • Council on Workforce Investment (CWI), Health Care Sub-Committee • WI Health Workforce Data Collaborative • MCW Grant • Collaboration of multiple partners • Passionate about addressing the gap in data needed to forecast future healthcare workforce needs

  4. Need & Purpose • No comprehensive data collection efforts had been conducted in WI • Limited Federal Data applicable to WI • Funding cuts to HRSA for reports and analysis • Needs for forecasting workforce supply and demand for Wisconsin to inform decisions

  5. Begin with Nursing…

  6. Required for License renewal • 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.

  7. Effort received wide support • WCN-Wisconsin Center for Nursing • WHA-Wisconsin Hospital Association • DHS-Department of Health Services • DRL-Department of Regulation & Licensing • DWD-Department of Workforce Development • ANEW-Association of Nurse Educators of WI

  8. Key Concerns/Issues Confidentiality Data Sharing Agreements Online and Paper Lessons Learned (and learning…)

  9. Who are Wisconsin RN’s?

  10. Preliminary Data as of 3/10 74,000 RNs in Wisconsin Average age 46 years 93% Female, 7% Male And we’ll soon know a lot more…

  11. Demographic and Geographic Data from the survey: • Total # RN’s licensed in WI • Total # RN’s employed as RN • % Female/% Male • % in Direct Patient Care • Age distribution • % of RNs over age 50 by work setting • Average age by work setting • Ethnicity • Highest level of nursing education • #Advanced Practice nurses • Employed # hours

  12. Forecasting Supply The forecasting model estimates ratios of FTE RN’s to population by 13 age groups and gender Ratios projected based on historical patterns Ratios implicitly capture graduates, migration, disability, death, retirement, and career change Driving force for supply projections is changing demographics Data: Census of All Licensed RNs in WI

  13. Forecasting Demand • Model assumes health care usage remains constant over time, incorporating population growth & age changes • Nurse staffing intensity is assumed to remain constant over time • Model captures employment settings where 90% of the RN’s are employed • Future improvements will project changes in usage and staffing intensity

  14. Another survey… Clinical Laboratory Workforce Survey 2010 PRELIMINARY RESULTS Wisconsin Department of Health Services Division of Public Health

  15. Preliminary Results: Survey Methods • 3,374 laboratories in Wisconsin • Sample size for survey: 746 laboratories • 43% response rate (319 of 746 laboratories) • Survey does not include local health departments • U.S. Mail notification, post card follow up • Survey completed online

  16. Preliminary Results: Age

  17. Preliminary Results: Race and Ethnicity

  18. Preliminary Results:Emergency Preparedness & Response • 70% clinical laboratories indicated they had an Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan. • Of the 282 laboratories responding to the emergency response training question, 33% indicated that 100% of their employees were trained in emergency response and preparedness.
