Health Risk and Nursing Workforce Profiles Using GIS Author: Chad Hall NRC 2106 Phone: 361-825-3445 The Nursing Workforce 2000 (NW2K) project is using GIS to determine nursing needs in the Greater Coastal Bend Region (GCBR) of Texas, based on the health risk profile of the population. The profile will help to detect patterns and predict trends of regional health needs. Analysis of the nursing workforce will show the makeup of the nursing population with respect to educational levels and specialization. From these two areas, a model can be developed to influence future nursing curricula within the GCBR. |
