We think it would be practical to use "Current/Actual" HCW capacity and Mode 1 (extra demand beyond HCW capacity will be met but appointment time will be squeezed by the squeeze factor).
NB. Under this adaption, the simulated counts of HSIs and appointments will not change but the total working time of HCW will.
We are currently using "funded-plus" for the assumption of HR resources the
[long_run_all_diseases](https://github.com/UCL/TLOmodel/blob/master/src/scripts/calibration_analyses/scenarios/long_run_all_diseases.py)
scenario, which is the target of calibration work. (That scenario uses the default forfull_model
, which uses the defaults forhealth system

current
or not. We can start by looking at the difference in epidemiological outcomes and healthcare system usage that results with either of these different assumptions.As we are using Mode=1, we expect that this won't have very much influence. But, we should consider if we wish to use Mode=0 or 2 instead.
