Idea Pilot Policy Paper Legislation Adoption Evaluation Change Two Dutch universities started pilot training projects for physician assistants: Utrecht in 2001 and Arnhem/Nijmegen in 2002. Nurse practitioners The profession of nurse practitioner, as adopted in the Netherlands, is based on developments in the United Kingdom and the US. Nurse practitioners can take on responsibilities and tasks formerly allocated to physicans, thereby helping to bridge the shortage of physicians. Idea Pilot Policy Paper Legislation Adoption Evaluation Change Nurse practitioners have enhanced responsibilities and tasks. Following an approach quite similar to Australia’s Re-Connect strategy, the Dutch health planners expect to make this profession more attractive by offering new career opportunities and incentives. In addition, the plans call for harmonizing all nurse-training programs nationwide. 71 Public Visibility Impact Transferability New incentives for nurses
Public Visibility Impact Transferability Health Workforce Advisory Committee From disciplinary silo to interdisciplinary development New Zealand: Workforce development In New Zealand, too, the government has recently come to consider leadership in health human resources development a priority, recognizing emerging shortages in this field. Earlier efforts in health workforce planning had been abandonned in the 1990s in line with the government’s more market-oriented approach to the economy in general. In late 2000, New Zealand’s Minister of Health established the Health Workforce Advisory Committee (HWAC) to evaluate national goals for the health care workforce and to recommend strategies for appropriate capacity development. The committee consists of ten members nominated by professional or consumer groups and then appointed by the minister. Idea Pilot Policy Paper Legislation Adoption Evaluation Change Two reports published by the committee as discussion documents for public meetings identified the following issues as critical: – Adaptation of workforce planning to the Primary Health Care Strategy (cf. HPD 1/2003) – Education through lifelong learning for the workforce – Building an adequate minority health workforce capacity (Maori, Pacific People) – Building workforce capacity for the disability sector. The HWAC departs from the traditionally narrow approach of the nursing profession to take a wider, more system-oriented view. The impact of the committee’s recommendations remains to be seen. 72 Sources and further reading: www.hwac.govt.nz/stocktakereport/stocktakereport.htm www.hwac.govt.nz/discussiondocument.htm
