“…This is substantiated by Mensah, Mackintosh, and Henry (2005, p. 14) who underscore that of late, the United Kingdom is not training enough medical personnel with over a third of doctors registered in the UK trained overseas. The situation in the United States is not different as there is an estimated 8 percent national shortage although there are regional variations (see Sargen et al, 2011).…”

“…With the increasing shortages of human resources for health worldwide, the need for innovations in handling the situation has been imperative. For instance in the United States, Rosseter (2011) observed that hospitals have "advanced several strategies to address the nursing shortage, including developing more public-private partnerships, creating healthy work environments, using technology as a training tool, and designing more flexible roles for advanced practice nurses given their increased use as primary care providers" (see also Sargen, Hooker, & Cooper, 2011).…”

This article interrogates the dynamics of public sector innovation within the context of labor crisis in a developing country environment. It finds that to minimize the impacts of labor shortage in the health sector, Malawi uses a locum program where health workers are encouraged to work extra hours and are paid overtime allowances accordingly. The article observes that although the program has been pivotal in motivating the existing staff to go the extra mile and attempt to cover up for the labor shortages, it is rocked with several challenges which usually disrupt effective service delivery. These include delayed payments, sustainability problems, governance challenges, work ethics challenges, and negative effects of the quality of services delivered. Taking a qualitative approach, the analysis combines the use of primary and secondary data.

“…Particular concern has focused on anticipated shortages of primary care physicians nationally (Anderson & Horvath, 2004;Bodenheimer & Pham, 2010;Colwill et al, 2008;Ku, Jones, Shin, Bruen, & Hayes, 2011;Nicholson, 2009;Petterson et al, 2012;Sargen, Hooker, & Cooper, 2011) and in specific regions of the country (Huang & Finegold, 2013). Most of the studies that report current and impending primary care shortages have focused exclusively on primary care physician supply.…”

How Many Nurse Practitioners Provide Primary Care? It Depends On How You Count Them

This study compares different approaches to measuring the number of nurse practitioners (NPs) providing primary care services using data from the 2012 U.S. National Sample Survey of Nurse Practitioners, North Carolina licensing data from 2011, and a 2010 California survey of nurse practitioners and nurse midwives. Estimates of the number and share of NPs providing primary care depend on how one defines primary care. If the definition is based on the field of NP education, the estimated shares in primary care specialties are 83.5% in North Carolina and 90.7% in California; if the definition is based on current or past fields of certification, the estimated shares are 79.9% in North Carolina and 74.5% nationally. The estimated number is even smaller if one considers employment setting (58.4% in North Carolina, 66.8% in California, and 67.8% nationally), and shrinks to about half of NPs if focusing on current field of clinical specialization.
