Health Workforce Canada: A Source of Innovation in Health Workforce Planning

Deb Gordon and Glenda Yeates

Abstract

In 2023, federal, provincial and territorial governments created Health Workforce Canada with a mandate to transform health workforce planning. Strategic initiatives focus on convening networks, advancing data, catalyzing modelling and forecasting and sharing promising practices. Early successes feature extensive collaboration and co-creation, data dashboards to assist planners and decision makers, an early microsimulation modelling tool to enable working with imprecise data and an artificial intelligence-powered Digital Front Door to enhance access to quality health workforce information and support informed decision making. Early efforts are having a positive impact on health workforce planning, data accessibility and catalyzing innovation and transformation.
