The authors reviewed survey results of the Human Resources for Health Effort Index, a tool that goes beyond the basic metrics of health worker density. The indexed surveys provided key qualitative information about health systems strengthening and opportunities for more strategic and targeted investments for health workforce development. Given the relative novelty of human resource indicators in public health, the authors suggest that more research and efforts are needed to improve the evidence base.
