Objectives: The primary focus of this program is to address health workforce shortages within each state and nationally. Of secondary importance but essential in order to develop viable statewide plans and identify key shortage areas, is the need to support the development of uniform data collection across states on licensed health professionals. This uniform data collection will be used to develop baseline numbers on the current supply of the health care workforce in order to evaluate the impact and success of this program. Efforts to develop and implement state health care workforce plans across state and federal organizations (including the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Education) should result in increases in the number of health care providers available to address the nation’s health care needs.
