Abstract:
The special feature article in this issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Health Management proposes an approach to health workforce planning based on developing and understanding a required range of patient journey scenarios, obtaining and using reliable intelligence, ensuring clinician involvement and leadership, and adopting a whole of service rather than a discipline-based approach. What feedback would you provide to inform and develop the principles and processes in this approach to enable adoption as an ongoing national or system-wide approach to workforce planning? What alternatives might you suggest? How might key stakeholder interests be more effectively shaped?
