First I want to give you the fast answer. We collect data across the country. For example, we know there are 349,000 nurses, and the areas where they work. What we don't do is articulate that and make it interoperable with what the physicians are doing, the needs in communities and whether those 349,000 nurses are doing the right thing.
If someone asked me today whether there is a nursing shortage, I'd say, well, there are 350,000 nurses and 95,000 doctors, so I don't know. Tons of them are working part time. What if they were working full time? There are a lot of what-ifs. Our plea for an agency or a structure where we bring data together, planning together, is to talk about what society needs, who can best meet it, and then how many of them you need.
