Description

In 2003, the Provincial Comprehensive Health Workforce Plan (CHWP) established a framework for workforce planning for health care in Alberta. A recommendation for moving forward was that all health authorities commit to ensuring workforce planners communicate best workforce planning practices with each other, and wherever possible, collaborate on planning practices and joint workforce strategies. The purpose of this Guide is to provide information for partners that will facilitate the overall understanding of health human resources planning at the provincial level; and highlight the importance of integrating the work between provincial and health authority business planners, provincial and health authority workforce planners, and clinical leaders.
