Global Government Health Partners Forum 2006 "The Breaking Point: Human Resources

描述（由申请人提供）：美国卫生系统提供安全、合理的优质护理的能力从根本上与其卫生人力的充足性有关。不幸的是，美国和世界上几乎每个国家都面临着与缺乏准备充分的卫生工作者有关的重大挑战。世界各国政府正在努力解决这些短缺问题，并寻求在近期和长期内确保卫生工作者的充足供应、分配、组合和质量的战略。这里提议的独特的全球会议旨在使主要政府领导人能够参与这些努力。 在国家一级，美国（美国）到2020年，估计护士短缺率将达到20%（Buerhaus，Staiger，&奥尔巴赫，2000年）。这种短缺导致了严重的职业安全和患者结果问题，正如最近的CDC会议所指出的那样，"人员配置模式和护士的工作条件是医疗保健相关感染以及职业伤害和感染的风险因素。人员短缺，特别是护士短缺，已被确定为预计限制医院应对未来新出现感染爆发能力的主要因素之一。全球护士短缺使这些问题更加复杂。了解和改善护士的工作条件可以潜在地减少许多传染病的发病率。（Stone PW，Clarke S，Cimiotti J，& Correa-de-Araujo R，2004） 此外，美国护士短缺为护士创造了一个全球劳动力市场，因为外国出生的护士来填补空缺;美国超过10%的就业护士是外国出生的。（Aiken，2005年）造成全球危机的主要因素包括工作条件、移民和贸易政策。2006年全球政府卫生伙伴论坛"突破点："卫生人力资源"将于2006年11月2日至3日在格鲁吉亚亚特兰大卡特总统中心举行，将汇集政府首席医疗官、政府首席护理官、以及其他受邀的高级卫生官员和决策者，以（1）提高对护理短缺对患者结果、工作条件和职业安全影响的认识;（2）增进对人力资源和全球卫生原则的了解;（3）增进对全球化以及贸易政策对卫生工作者和移徙的影响的了解;（4）探讨战略 以应对熟练卫生工作者短缺的全球危机。 为期两天的会议的形式是全体会议，并行会议，小组讨论和研讨会的组合。特别强调发展和加强社区卫生组织和社区卫生组织之间的专业伙伴关系，因为它们共同努力制定针对具体国家的行动计划，以解决本国保健人员短缺的根本原因，如工作条件和职业危害。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by the Applicant): The ability of the health system of the United States to provide safe, reasonable quality care is fundamentally linked to the adequacy of its health workforce. Unfortunately, the United States and almost every country around the world is experiencing significant challenges associated with shortages of well prepared health workers. Governments worldwide are struggling to address these shortages and seeking strategies that will assure adequate supply, distribution, mix and quality of health workers in both the near and longer term. The unique global conference proposed here is designed to enable key government leaders in these efforts. At a country level, the United States (U.S.) is facing a protracted and worsening crisis with an estimated 20% shortage of nurses by 2020 (Buerhaus, Staiger, & Auerbach, 2000). This shortage leads to serious occupational safety and patient outcome concerns, as noted at a recent CDC conference "Staffing patterns and nurses' working conditions are risk factors for healthcare-associated infections as well as occupational injuries and infections. Staffing shortages, especially of nurses, have been identified as one of the major factors expected to constrain hospitals' ability to deal with future outbreaks of emerging infections. These problems are compounded by a global nursing shortage. Understanding and improving nurses' working conditions can potentially decrease the incidence of many infectious diseases". (Stone PW, Clarke S, Cimiotti J, & Correa-de-Araujo R, 2004) Furthermore, the U.S. shortage of nurses has created a global labor market for nurses as foreign-born nurses come to fill the vacancies; over 10% of employed nurses in the U.S. are foreign born. (Aiken, 2005) The primary factors contributing to the global crisis include work conditions, migration and trade policy. The Global Government Health Partners Forum 2006 "The Breaking Point: Human Resources for Health", to be held November 2-3, 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia at The Carter Presidential Center, will bring together Government Chief Medical Officers (CMOs), Government Chief Nursing Officers CNOs), and other invited senior health officials and policy makers to (1) increase understanding of impact of nursing shortage on patient outcomes, work conditions and occupational safety; (2) enhance knowledge on the principles of human resources and global health; (3) increase understanding of globalization and the impact of trade policy on health workers and migration; and (4) explore strategies to respond to the global crisis of the skilled health workforce shortage. The format for the two-day conference is a combination of plenary sessions, concurrent sessions, panels, and workshops. Particular emphasis is placed on developing and strengthening the professional partnerships between CMOs and CNOs as they work together to develop country specific plans of actions to address the root causes of health personnel shortages, such as work conditions and occupational hazards, in their own countries.
