Co-developing an inclusive interprofessional health workforce minimum data standard for enhanced planning and decision-making: A Canadian case with international relevance
Co-developing an MDS for planning benefits from building off existing data standards, open and ongoing collaborator engagement for buy-in, and practical considerations balancing adding more data against finding the right data elements to fit planning needs. Although the MDS was developed for a Canadian context, the approach and outputs are transferable to other settings.
