Shortages of Nurses Method for Identifying Facilities and Communities

November 6th, 2009 by admin | Filed under nurse


The Health Services and Resources Administration (HRSA) issued a Request for Proposals for a two-year research project to gather information and insights in support of the development of a new methodology for identifying health care facilities and communities with critical shortages of registered nurses (RNs). HRSA’s decision to support this research was based in large part on their concern that its current method for identifying facilities and communities with shortages of RNs was too narrow in scope and that RN shortages were likely to worsen over the next 20 years. The New York Center for Health Workforce Studies at SUNY Albany was selected to conduct this study.

This report summarizes the findings of the various components of this empirical research study. It describes a number of methods for identifying facilities and communities with shortages of nurses. It documents the strengths and weaknesses of different methods for assessing the extent of shortages of RNs in facilities and communities. The report is presented in seven sections, each summarizing a different aspect of the study:

• Federal Initiatives to Address Nursing Shortages
• Initial Literature Review
• Data Sets and Compilations
• Methods and Analyses Based on Facility Data
• Methods and Analyses Based on Geographic Data
• Preferred Method
• Study Recommendations

In addition to summarizing these research components of the study, this report presents a series of conclusions designed to inform policy makers and other researchers who may be interested in implementing or adapting one or more of these methods in the future. Additional details about the different methods, including estimates of the supply and demand for RNs in different jurisdictions, can be found in the technical report prepared as part of the larger study.
