Supportive nursing leadership is important for the successful introduction and implementation of advanced practice nursing roles in Canadian healthcare settings.

This study focuses on the implementation and evaluation of the Forecasting Future Workforce Demand Tool. It was hypothesized that the implementation of the Tool would enable hospitals to enter historical workforce data to create one to five year forecasts for proactive HHR planning and strategy development.
