This study introduces a policy model and algorithm to fairly allocate continuing education (CE) funds in large health systems. It considers both the need for training and the cost of accessing educational resources.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Healthcare Administration
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Continuing education (CE) program costs vary significantly based on facility size, mission, and geographic accessibility.
  • Effective resource allocation is crucial for maintaining high standards in healthcare training.
  • Existing methods for allocating CE funds may not adequately address diverse facility needs and varying access costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a policy model and algorithm for equitable distribution of CE financial resources within a large national health system.
  • To create a systematic approach for allocating CE funds that accounts for facility-specific needs and external cost variations.
  • To provide a framework for optimizing the financial investment in healthcare professional development.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Development of a two-factor policy model for CE resource allocation.
  • Creation of a mathematical algorithm to operationalize the policy model.
  • Application of the model and algorithm within a large national health system context.

Main Results:

  • The developed algorithm successfully allocates CE dollar resources based on a two-factor model.
  • Facility CE dollar allocations are determined by the calculated amount of CE need and the price differences in accessing CE sources.
  • The model provides a data-driven approach to managing CE budgets in complex healthcare organizations.

Conclusions:

  • The policy model and algorithm offer an effective and equitable method for allocating continuing education funds in large health systems.
  • This approach addresses the variability in CE program costs by considering both need and access price.
  • Implementation of this model can lead to more efficient and targeted investment in healthcare professional development.
