The main aim of the report is to review three aspects of the mobility of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the Lithuanian labour market in 2018–2024: (1) mobility of HCPs between workplaces; (2) mobility of HCPs between the private and public sectors; and (3) emigration of HCPs from Lithuania. The research report presents conclusions for each of these aspects, considering not only the type of healthcare professionals’ license and the type of professional qualifications, but also demographic characteristics such as gender and age group. The insights from the study may be useful in shaping human resources policy in the health system and in planning the need for training healthcare professionals.

The purpose of the Methodology is to define the most important areas of the evaluation of the Law on Reuse of Health Data (hereinafter referred to as Law on RoHD), to provide preliminary evaluation questions, to identify the data necessary for the evaluation, their possible sources, and data collection and analysis methods that would allow for proper conduct of the ex-post evaluation of this law. The developed Methodology is a detailed plan for the ex-post evaluation of the Law on RoHD.

The Methodology includes three evaluation criteria (effectiveness, impact, and efficiency (effectiveness)) and respective 25 evaluation questions, prepared on the basis of the sample questionnaire for the ex-post evaluation of the impact of the legislation in force, the results of the analysis conducted during this study, and in consultation with the Client. Questionnaires have also been prepared for discussions in 5 focus groups that will be formed for the ex-post evaluation.
