Abstract: Abstract Resource planning plays a central role in health care. Especially when it comes to the healthcare workforce, planning is crucial in order to avoid shortages. Workforce planning takes place on different stakeholder levels and is based on different planning methodologies, namely supply-based, demand-based, needs-based models, and benchmarking. A challenge in applying any of these models, however, lies in dealing adequately with uncertainty by making plausible assumptions. Another weakness shared by all four models is that they are rooted in traditional care processes, as opposed to integrated, team-based, and partly digital models of care. Therefore, the article closes by highlighting some of the new approaches to workforce planning.
