Add Projection
The first step is to set up a new workforce projection by clicking the Add Projection option. You will be prompted to enter general information about the projection and save it. Once the projection is generated, additional options for adding workforce data will become available. You can create as many projections as you like. Each projection represents the total health workforce at the national, regional or district level.
1. On the Home page or in the left side menu, click Manage Projections.
2. Click Add Projection.
3. Enter the Projection Name, which will identify the projection in lists.
4. Enter the Targeted Goals for the Workforce; these are the proposed outcomes that you are hoping to achieve by the end date of the projection.
5. Select the Country where the health workforce is being modeled.
6. Select the Start Year for the projection. This should be the most recent year for which there are known data as to the health workforce supply and population. You will not be able to enter any data in the projection for prior to this base year.
7. Enter the Projection Duration in number of years. For best results, enter a number between 10 and 30 years.
8. Click Confirm and confirm that the information entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save to save it.
9. The new projection is generated with options to add additional information divided into sections.
Note that you can click the Hide/Expand option at the top of any section to hide or display that section. You can edit or update a projection at any time by searching for the projection (see Find Projection).
