iHRIS Plan is a software tool for modeling and planning.
iHRIS Plan is a free, open-source software solution that The Capacity Project developed, an innovative global initiative aimed at helping developing countries build and sustain their health workforce. This software uses data from iHRIS Manage and iHRIS Qualify to provide a comprehensive picture of the country's health workforce.
The software then forecasts changes that will take place in that workforce in the future, based on known factors such as retirement age and the number of trained health workers annually entering the workforce. This projection is compared to the projected health workforce needs over the same period, visually displaying the difference between actual and required workers.
The decision-maker can interactively test various models, or policy changes, to attempt to close the gap. This feature allows the decision-maker to make effective policy decisions by testing various planning scenarios and identifying strategies to address the gap's projected workforce needs.
In summary, iHRIS Plan is an invaluable software for health sector planners and program decision makers, enabling them to better model workforce needs and make effective policy decisions that will meet those needs. The software is free, open-source, easy-to-use, and highly reliable, making it a must-have for any health sector planning team.
