Virginia Healthcare Workforce Data Center Dashboards

Description

The Virginia Healthcare Workforce Data Center Dashboards provide comprehensive data on Virginia’s licensed healthcare workforce. Explore key insights on workforce supply, demographics, distribution, education, and employment across various health professions. These dashboards support workforce planning, inform policy decisions, and promote access to healthcare services throughout the Commonwealth.

How the Community can use the Data

The Healthcare Workforce Data Center Dashboards help community members, healthcare organizations, educators, and policymakers understand the availability and distribution of healthcare professionals across Virginia. By using this data, the community can identify workforce shortages, support efforts to improve access to care, guide educational and training programs, and inform policy decisions aimed at strengthening Virginia’s healthcare system.

Data Limitations

The data is based on self-reported information collected during license renewal, which may vary in accuracy or completeness. It represents licensed healthcare professionals, but not all licensees may be actively practicing in Virginia. Additionally, there may be time gaps between data collection and reporting, and the dashboards do not capture unlicensed healthcare workers or informal caregivers who contribute to the healthcare system.
