Health system stakeholders need solid physician human resources planning practices to ensure the right resources are in the right place at the right time to provide the right, high-quality care to patients close to home, and as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
The goal of health human resources planning is to develop and ensure a fit-for-purpose and future-proofed workforce. Recognizing that different groups will have different needs, experience, and scales of planning requirements, the OMA’s Physician Human Resources Committee created this toolkit to describe and facilitate fit-for-purpose planning across many scenarios.
