Step 7: This is a graphical model of the projection you created. The model graphs the changes in the actual health workforce (blue line) as compared to the changes in needed health workers (red line) to serve the population over the duration of the projection. The actual workforce is calculated based on the pool changes you entered applied to the health worker supply. The needed number of health workers is calculated based on a ratio of health workers to population, calculated from the initial target, population and population growth rate you set. Following that is a graph of the projected costs of the workforce over time.
Below the graph, all of the projection data are displayed in a table. Note that actual data you entered (as opposed to projected numbers) are indicated by an asterisk (*). Disable any of the pool changes to see the effect on the projection by clicking the checkbox next to the pool change data in the tabular display. Then click the Update button to redraw the graph. The new projected supply will appear as the blue line, and the original projected supply will appear as a green line for easy comparison.
