Abstract
According to National Health System Act No. 3 B.E. 2565, the objective is to equally
distribute personnel among areas, transition from physical to digital work, and have a system
for training, developing, and producing health personnel that can meet the needs of the
nation. In addition, there currently should be a system for monitoring and assessing health
personnel policies and deciding on corrective measures. The objectives are to provide a report
on the state of the Thai health system, develop policy recommendations and initiatives, and
create a "set of health personnel indicators" in accordance with the health charter. The AAAQ
principle: 1) accessibility, 2) availability, 3) service capability traits (acceptability), and 4) quality
was implemented in this project. To analyze the objectives of organizational indicators,
strategies, plans, projects, and related activities both domestically and internationally, we
utilized the following procedures: examining the literature, gathering data, and listening to
expert perspectives. This study divided indicators into 4 categories, totaling 13 indicators. The
following assessment of the health workforce's state and trends was made possible through
the indicator data: Group 1 Indicator: Current state of health workforce output the country's
capacity to produce health workers is growing steadily, and the private sector will contribute
more to the recruitment of staff, particularly in the fields of public health and nursing. Group
2 Indicator: Professional registration; there was insufficient information available regarding the
number of applicants for the professional registration examination. However, one fact is that
the professional registration examination rate is not 100% of the number of graduates each
year, which can reflect the quality of the production process to some extent. Group 3
Indicator: The professional council's health professional registration database is currently
unable to provide information on these employees' current employment situation or if they
are still actively practicing their professions. There is still inequity in the geographic distribution
of workers (geographical mal-distribution) and the usage of databases from service units
(facility-based data). Group 4 Indicator: The Ministry of Public Health is implementing a number
of measures, although it's possible that several associated sectors particularly the private
sector are not fully integrated into them. In addition to the general health workforce reform
committee, this also entails the creation of digital platforms for data linking and governance
mechanisms for health workforce policies at the local and national levels. Since the last two
to three years, the Ministry of Public Health has been working to create a database system for
services, finance, and the health workforce based on the facility-based concept, where service
units are the data input providers. Previously, each professional council created its own
member database.
The following are the suggested management mechanisms: Mechanism 1: Development of a
data system to have a minimum dataset and then building a health workforce registration
database system. Mechanism 2: Establishment of a system for a data-sharing platform that
can be implemented in the long term. The Ministry of Public Health's Office of the Permanent
Secretary's Information Technology Center shall be the primary source of technical assistance
in creating a data sharing platform and a central data collection system for the nation's health
workforce while adhering to the principle of data confidentiality. The Ministry of Public Health
and professional councils will be the primary hosts in defining the minimal data set, or basic
essential data, and creating data standards that meet international standards. Including
developing a system for reporting actual worker data in private service establishments, both
at the hospital and clinic levels, having professional councils set their own terms for the term
“active workforce,” developing a registry of member database systems and creating specialist
information standards (specialty categorization). Having all professional councils jointly design
a method for studying the annual loss rate as a standard, including a proposal to the Ministry
of Higher Education, Science, Research, Science and Innovation (MHESI) to develop a data
linking system for all curricula in health sciences. In every university and every admission
system, develop an individual data database system. Bringing information about user needs is
part of it. utilized for graduate production planning in order to generate adequate numbers
