Health Workforce Supply and Demand Modeling

A data-driven approach to identify and address gaps in California’s health workforce

Health Workforce Research Data Center Annual Report to the Legislature—April 2025

Purpose

Enable HCAI and partners to understand and equitably solve the supply/demand gap in health workforce services and better serve Californians. Our workforce supply and demand model aims to:

  • Quantify the extent of challenges we know and address future-facing shortages and inequities before they emerge.
  • Drive better and more targeted decision-making for our funds and programs based on the greatest gaps by role and geography.
  • Identify opportunities for collaboration with other institutions and partners to solve identified gaps by informing shared priorities.

Approach

The supply, demand, and pipeline modeling tools enable a granular (by role and geography) and quantitative view of current state workforce shortages and projected future needs (shortages and training supply).
