Utilizing Federal Data Sources to Support Nursing Workforce Analysis.
Effective health workforce analysis requires robust data and information. Quality data facilitate monitoring workforce trends, identifying shortages, forecasting employment needs, and planning educational programs. A wide range of federal agencies collect various forms of data, including administrative data, surveys, and censuses, which can be used for health workforce analysis. However, identifying the most appropriate data sources to address a specific nursing workforce issue can be challenging, particularly for newcomers to the field or those researching unfamiliar topics. In this article, we introduce and review 18 federal data sources pertinent to nursing workforce analysis. We categorize the datasets by their associated federal agency, describe each source, discuss their applicability to nursing workforce studies, present examples of past studies that employed these datasets, and highlight their limitations. Our aim is to help researchers, policymakers, and healthcare administrators efficiently locate and leverage relevant data for their analysis.
期刊介绍:
Policy, Politics & Nursing Practice is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that explores the multiple relationships between nursing and health policy. It serves as a major source of data-based study, policy analysis and discussion on timely, relevant policy issues for nurses in a broad variety of roles and settings, and for others outside of nursing who are interested in nursing-related policy issues.
