Information gaps in terms of management and planning for HRH


Information gaps

Management and utilization of existing HRH
- Recruitment and retention strategies
- Work conditions; training and employment characteristics, and performance
- Migration and attrition
- Scope of practice (underutilized or over-utilized)
HRH planning
- Absence of reliable HRH data (supply and needs-based)
- No data numbers, gaps, losses, demographics, categories (types and skill-mix), and distribution of HRH
- More comprehensive data on other categories of health workers
