How does the Health Human Resources Planning Simulation Model for NPs in Primary Health Care™ work?
The model is a software program that allows planners to simulate gaps in the supply of and requirements for primary health care NPs within a team-based approach. The model can test the effectiveness of various policy initiatives in dealing with a human resource gap prior to actually implementing the policy intervention. Variations in policy scenarios might include a 10% increase in NP enrolment, or a 10% increase in the NP participation rate.
