Data Collection Inventory

State Health Workforce Data Collection Inventory

The State Health Workforce Data Collection Inventory describes findings from a survey about data collection on health workforce supply (eg, demographic, education, and practice characteristics of health professionals), demand (eg, vacancies and employer recruitment and retention difficulties), and the education pipeline (eg, graduation rates and trainee/graduate characteristics). The data collection survey is ongoing and the inventory is continually being updated as more responses are received.

The below tool identifies the type of data states are collecting by profession. Health workforce surveys are also available for some states.
