Sažetak

Healthcare workforce shortage is a worldwide problem (1).
Workforce shortage may be defined as not having the right
number of people with the right skills in the right place
at the right time, to provide the right services to the right
people (2). In this regard, the trends are worrisome, and
the situation is getting worse. The consequences are also
very consistent – limited care health services and limited
quality of health care (1). In short, there is an imbalance between need and supply. The solution: as health care needs
increase worldwide, the “production” of personnel must be
increased! But is it really that simple? Are the problem and
the solution so reciprocal and directly linked?
