Health workforce Statistics: Current Needs and Requirements
Introduction
Trained healthcare workforce is an important determinant of efficiency and outcomes of any health system as devised by WHO health systems approach. India one of the most populous country of the world has always felt a dire need of healthcare workforce even having one of the largest medical education and capacity building system. On the other hand we have a variety of health cadre namely from an ASHA to super specialized doctors. In our presentation we have critically analyzed the distribution of health workforce in India and its impacts on health and healthcare delivery for the mass of our society.
The Health Workforce in Nutshell
India faces an acute shortage of trained health workforce. India has a large basket of interventions to improve the healthcare but they are adversely effected by shortage of trained, motivated and supported health workforce. The shortages and misdistribution of health workforce have a large contribution to inequities in health outcomes. India’s health workforce is a combination of both registered, formal health-care providers and informal medical practitioners. We have a very unique health system with a large public health system and a blanket of juxtaposed private health care system. Similar situation is also present in training and education of health workforce. There is also a lack of data on the exact number of health care providers.
Issues
Quite a percentage of Indian population is spread in the rural areas but on the other hand the concentration of health care is in the urban system. The health care providers are highly concentrated in the urban area. Health worker densities are very low in rural settings when compared with urban areas. The next issue is lack of support to the health care providers practicing in the rural area and attraction of high income, support and provisions in the urban settings for the highly specialized workforce which includes doctors, dentist etc. At the national level, the aggregate density of doctors, nurses and midwives was 2.08 per 1000 population, which was lower than WHO’s critical shortage threshold of 2.28 .
Conclusion
In a concluding remark the production of health workforce has increased too many folds which has cost increased privatization of health education. On the other hand the public medical education system has not expanded at the required level. There is need to tap the potential in the private players with keep in mind stringent control of quality and cost. The increase in production is not going to resolve the issues of health worker availability and distribution. The need of the hour is to find sustainable measures to target the acute shortfall in the trained health workforce in India.
Telecommuting is on the rise. More and more work is done on laptops, smartphones and tablets. According to a Cisco study, nearly 32% of employees globally rely on more than one mobile device during a typical work day.
The mobile workforce trend poses new challenges for many companies, including field worker efficiency, productivity, and accountability.
Field Work Mobility solves this problem with a two fold custom solution.

Hi everyone,
Jamestown College is my selected institution. My program evaluation has yielded three areas of recommendation for continuous improvement. It is suggested that five more sections of introductory-level engineering classes are added into the curriculum in order to improve graduation career prospects. According to the text, “in 2012, 88 percent of respondents to the freshman survey conducted by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program indicated that “to be able to get a better job” was a very important reason for deciding to go to college …” (Banta, 2015, p. 145) and so we see that career prospects are important to students. It is recommended that the Mathematics department roll out a strategic enrollment plan to increase the number of women and underrepresented minority groups to the major. Lastly, it is recommended that the College create a stronger workforce development program by introducing an applied project, “…allowing students to practice problem-solving skills, communication skills, and if they are working in a group, teamwork skills as well” (Banta, 2015, p. 159).
It will cost an average of $62,000 per year to hire a Ph.D. level Engineering adjunct professor to teach five sections of 100-level Engineering courses. We have learned in previous modules that careers in Mathematics are looking for some working knowledge of Engineering and the curriculum, as it stands right now, does not offer that.
The recommendation to increase enrollment is to specifically recruit women and underrepresented minority groups to the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics majors, also known as STEM. Using the model described in Information Systems Education Journal, this growth in enrollment should come from a combination of faculty outreach to the community through classroom visits to community colleges, and by appointing these newly recruited students to a formal grant-funded “scholars” program. My recommendation would be for Jamestown College to hire a contract grant writer to the Mathematics program for $35,000 per year with no benefits. This grant writer should work to secure a grant from the National Science Foundation to fund a “scholars” program which will, “provide guidance and continued support to women and underrepresented minorities from the beginning of their experiences in higher education until they reach their goal of a career in science, technology, and mathematics” (Tupper, D.H., 2005, p. 4).
Enhancing workforce development through an applied project is recommended for the Mathematics major at Jamestown College. “Because applied projects include a product or report that is shared with clients, clients are generally involved in project evaluation” (Banta, 2015, p. 159 ). I believe that forming employer-partner relationships could be done by hosting some “lunch and learn” style events on campus, where employers would come to campus for faculty to present the offer of their stude ...

Pablo de Pedraza: Labor market matching, economic cycle and online vacanciesTextkernel
Pablo de Pedraza's presentation at Textkernel's Conference Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on 2 June 2016.
The number of job openings, or vacancies, is an important indicator of the state of the economy and the labour market. They are extensively used by institutions and in academic papers to calculate the Beveridge Curve or estimate the matching function, center pieces of macroeconomic models studying labor markets. Vacancies can be measured using administrative registers, surveys to employers, advertisements in printed press or using online advertising.
This presentation is divided into two sections. In the first one we study the Dutch Beveridge curve and the matching function using the number of vacancies inferred from a survey to employers conducted by the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) from 1997 until the end of 2014. We obtain conclusion about matching process before and after the Great Recession.
In the second section we compare number of vacancies inferred from CBS vacancy data with the number of vacancies posted online. According to CBS data, the number of vacancies increases during positive shocks and goes down during negative ones. We can observe the number of web vacancies posted online from 2006 until today and compare them with CBS data during a complete economic cycle.
Results show a positive time trend in the number of online vacancies and negative time trend in the number of vacancies inferred from a survey. We show that both series reflect very similar economic reality once we account for both trends. We settle our future research lines focusing on exploring the sources behind both trends and how they compare across sectors.
Universities are often known in their communities as neutral conveners. Convening a group of resource organizations that support entrepreneurs can provide needed information to develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem. This session explores a variety of ways that universities can interact with business development landscapes; identify strengths and weaknesses; and fill gaps. Combining research and outreach, the session explores data collection, analysis, and actions that can build better environments for entrepreneurial success.

“Planning for Future Funding: How to create a community comprehensive plan with federal funding in mind”
Thinking about federal grants when developing a comprehensive plan for your community can help you get a head start on successfully applying, submitting and receiving federal funding.
Detailed comprehensive plans and federal funding grants need some of the same elements to thrive. Writing about the vision for investing in a community’s empty brownfields, affordable housing and economic development needs, and health issues can serve as a platform in applying for federal grants. These aspirations, when effectively written and documented, can be used as the basis for grant applications. If a community identifies its needs as part of the planning process, it can, as part of a continuous proposal building process, pinpoint which grants will help meet those needs.
Federal grants are available for communities with an integrated vision for connecting economic development, community development, and environmental protection to create greater livability.
Illinois ResourceNet (IRN) and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMPA) are working together on a series of free webinars to help communities strengthen their capacity to apply successfully for available federal funding opportunities.
In this webinar, “Planning for Funding: How to create a comprehensive plan with federal funding in mind,” Deborah Orr, EPA Region 5 Brownfields Coordinator, will moderate the session and explain why comprehensive community planning should be an integral part of the federal funding process.
Michael McAfee, Community Planning and Development Representative with HUD's Chicago office, will demonstrate how to use a comprehensive plan and the sustainable practices built into it to facilitate the continuous development of federal funding proposals.
Susan Kaplan, technical assistance provider for Illinois ResourceNet at the University of Illinois, will offer examples of how a community plan can be used to help identify relevant federal grant opportunities and develop persuasive grant applications.
