98 Catalog of Indicators Health Indicator developed: Yes Kind of indicator: Outcome Data source/s: Administrative reporting system, Household surveys, Population census Challenges: The classification of health workers is based on criteria for vocational education and training, regulation of health occupations, and the activities and tasks involved in carrying out a job, i.e. a framework for categorizing key workforce variables according to shared characteristics. Linked to policy: WHO and Local Health strategic plan Other comments: Counts of workers outside the public sector (i.e., private, non-­‐governmental, community-­based) are likely to be less accurate, particularly if these sectors are not required to register and/or provide reports on staff and services. While this indicator measures the availability of service providers, it does not take into account all of a health system's objectives, particularly with regard to accessibility, equity, efficiency, and quality of training and services.
