鉴于现时物理治疗师供应不足，以及医疗改革年代的预期转变，业界应审慎考虑实施一套训练策略，使物理治疗师的供应量能配合需求。 然而，在制定这样的培训策略之前，物理治疗界需要进行需求预测。 本文比较了两种主要方法的使用和局限性产生卫生专业的要求“需求为基础的”和“需求为基础的”的方法，并建议一个务实的，量身定制的方法来确定物理治疗师的要求，使用易于获得的数据管理式护理计划的人员配置模式。 所提出的方法借鉴了基于需求和基于需求的模型，以产生补充数据，作为政策制定的基础。
In response to the existing undersupply of physical therapists and the projected changes of the health care reform era, it is prudent for the profession to consider implementing a training strategy that would bring the supply of physical therapists in line with requirements. Before such a training strategy could be developed, however, the physical therapy community would need to produce a requirements forecast. This article compares the uses and limitations of the two major methods for generating health professions requirements-the ''need-based'' and ''demand-based'' approaches-and recommends a pragmatic, tailored approach to determining physical therapist requirements that uses easily obtainable data on staffing patterns of managed care plans. The proposed method draws from both need-based and demand-based models to produce complementary data on which to base policy formation.
