| Task shifting | Task shifting is defined as delegating tasks to existing or new health workers with either less training or narrowly tailored training. It involves the rational redistribution of tasks among health workforce teams. Specific tasks are moved, where appropriate, from highly qualified cadres to cadres with shorter training and fewer qualifications in order to make more efficient use of the available human resources for health. |
