EXTENDED EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 76

4. 4. LIMITATION

The study on the projection of HRH supply and requirement based on need and demand
were based on various sources of data, including experts’ opinion and consensus, for some
of the data that were not available. Subsequent research in similar areas must attempt to
verify these data through comparison with data available in the new health information
system, research, or clinical audit.

As for health services provided by trained HRH, population health care needs for rehabilitation
medicine, palliative and geriatric care were not included in this study. This study also did
not venture in detail on indirect health care services, community-based services, and
administrative works perform by HRH as well as system inefficiency, which may influence
HRH’s productivity. These are the areas that can be included in the review of HRH projections
or studied separately in future.
