In this study, the modeling takes as input the estimated number of Physicians (broken down by specialty) and critical care nurses:

As of November 2013, there were an estimated 799,500 physicians in the United States. (20) About 12,600 (1.6%) were critical care and pulmonary care physicians, 41,690 (5.2 %) were anesthesiologists, 35,650 (4.5%) were emergency care physicians, 4,730 (0.6%) were cardio-thoracic surgeons, and 704,830 (88.1%) were other physician specialty or primary care physicians. (19 – 22) The number of respiratory therapists was estimated to be 112,500 (23) while critical care nurses were estimated to be 503,124. (24)

We would like to use a similar modeling technique but on a higher spatial resolution; therefore getting these numbers at least per state is desirable.
