The Utah TEAM Workforce Model

This is an ongoing collaborative project between the UMEC, Utah AHEC and many collaborating partners. Additional materials will be added as they are produced. Please contact Sydney Groesbeck, Informaticist at the Health Workforce Information Center, (HWIC) sngroesbeck@utah.gov with questions or interest in collaboration.

Current work is focused on three aims:

  1. load the model with available data sources
  2. Validate model inputs with real world observational studies
  3. Assess usability of the tool with users.

An inital working model with a user interface can be found at https://teamcare.utah.gov
