The Bowen Health Workforce Information Portal (Bowen Portal)

The Bowen Health Workforce Information Portal (Bowen Portal) was developed to enable stakeholders to readily discover, use, and share health workforce information. The Bowen Portal provides reliable and timely data on Indiana’s health workforce in order to support data-driven policy development and to inform decisions at both the state and local levels. The Bowen portal is maintained by the Bowen Center for Health Workforce Research & Policy at the Indiana University School of Medicine in collaboration with the State of Indiana.  

Since its naming in 2015, the Bowen Center continually strives to make the Bowen Portal a hub of health workforce data and policy information. Content on the Bowen Portal is informed by and developed for Indiana stakeholders. The Indiana Health Workforce Dashboards are the centerpiece of the portal. These dashboards enable users to interact with and customize supply information for Indiana health professions. The Bowen Portal Library centralizes the Center’s entire collection of workforce reports, white papers/briefs, survey tools, and more. The Bowen Center’s portfolio of Research Projects is diverse and has expanded over the years to include an array of timely and responsive subjects.
