Dear colleagues, 
I am pleased to inform you that we are currently inviting papers to the special WISN supplement in the HRH Journal. 
This theme will seek to expand the evidence base on implementation experiences of the WISN studies carried out in varying settings and the use of the WISN results to aid health workforce planning. Its findings will contribute to the ongoing efforts coordinated by the World Health Organization and its partners to build in-country WISN capacity and advocate for the need for evidence-based health workforce planning. The supplement invites paper on a range of topics related to application of the WHO Workload Indicators of Staffing Need (WISN) tool including but not limited to the following:
1. WISN for health workforce planning at national level
2. WISN for health workforce management at facility level
3. WISN results used for equitable distribution of health workforce 
4. Using WISN to estimate the health workforce needs for specific health services, health epidemics etc
5. Lessons learnt and challenges faced in WISN implementation
6. Establishing and revising staffing norms using the WISN methodology
7. Health workforce information systems systematized to address WISN data elements 
8. Institutionalizing WISN in health workforce policy and planning 

Full manuscripts should be submitted by 1 December 2020. 

For more detailed instructions for authors, please refer to the attachments.

Looking forward to an interesting collection of papers given the vast and varied experience in this community .

Best regards, 
Teena
