Mary Lou Brunell, MSN, RNExecutive Director, Florida Center for Nursing
Demand vs. Need and Why it Matters
Need – immediate, current vacancies
Demand – anticipated need, future
Demand information is critical for:• Determining future shortages/surpluses• Strategic decision making• Health workforce planning• Policy development• Budgetary allocations
The Case for StandardizationStandardizing the collection of state-level nurse workforce data:• Allows for the creation of a national repository of data.• Enables state and national nurse workforce planners to more quickly and accurately implement best policy approaches to resolve the critical shortage. • Provides a reliable way to benchmark progress in addressing the nursing shortage in their state and across the nation.
National Forum of State Nursing Workforce Centers – Minimum Nurse Demand Dataset
• Created through a rigorous process of consensus building• Funded by the Center to Champion Nursing in America/AARP and the in-kind contributions from National Forum Members• National Forum workgroups initiated working draft and conducted public comment period including solicitation of input from experts• Ratified by the National Forum and released in 2009
