Research program Professions in Healthcare and Manpower Planning

Ronald BatenburgA balanced labour market - a market where supply and demand match up in terms of quantity and quality - results in good, accessible and affordable healthcare services. How do we improve this match? Is more training the solution, or preventing outflow? And how can a different organisation of the healthcare system contribute to an optimal deployment of personnel?

We continuously monitor the match between supply and demand in the healthcare labour market, as well as the match between education and profession.
