A robust and vigorous health care work force is one of the essential components of a stable health services delivery system. The State Health Improvement Plan recognizes the importance of an adequate supply of health care professionals and the increased difficulty in recruiting certain types of health professionals in many areas of the Commonwealth. Policy makers, researchers, and legislators have raised concerns about the lack of objective data about the demographic, educational, employment and other characteristics of various health care professionals working in Pennsylvania.
To address this, the Department of Health, with the assistance of the Department of State, has been distributing surveys to members of various licensed health professions during the license renewal process. These reports are the culmination of this survey data.
