Defining staffing shortages for advanced practice providers (APPs) based on historical patterns of supplementary temporary worker utilization can produce inaccurate estimates. We have identified three possible sources of error: 1) relying on prior average levels of utilization without considering variance, 2) wrongly classifying individuals with different roles within a single category, and 3) assuming part-time positions of the apt size are available.
