Health Human Resources and Public-Private Partnerships: Understanding Their Contributions to Canada's Transforming Healthcare Environment

by Joseph A. de Mora

For three days in September 2007, chief executive officers (CEOs) from health systems and organizations across Canada gathered in Banff, Alberta, for the inaugural Healthcare CEO Leadership Summit. We came together to consider and debate two of the most pressing issues facing the transformation of our country's healthcare environment: health human resources (HHR) and public-private partnerships (P3s). (This gathering, from September 14 to 16, was made possible by an unrestricted educational grant from Hoffmann-La Roche Limited. HHR and P3s were selected as topics based on an extensive needs assessment carried out among participants prior to the meeting.)

THE PULSE OF RENEWAL: A Focus on Nursing Human Resources ...

This journal is a report of work commissioned by Health Canada's Office of Nursing Policy and is focused on strategies for augmenting and enhancing nursing human resources. The research covers a diverse spectrum including: progress on implementing the 51 recommendations of the 2002 Canadian Nursing Advisory Committee; attrition from schools of nursing; the quality of nurses' work life; nursing utilization and human resource planning in hospitals; dissemination of best practice guidelines; and issues related to educational preparation, leadership and workforce objectives.

The six follow-up projects commissioned by the ONP had similar goals: to study one aspect of the nursing world, to effect change, to increase our knowledge about the healthcare system and, specifically, to show how nursing is positioned within the system. The work included the following studies:

• Progress to Date
• In the Beginning: Attrition from Schools of Nursing
• Work Life: A Dimension of Quality and Accreditation Standards
• Utilization: Implications for Nursing Human Resource Planning in Hospitals
• Best Practice Guidelines: Dissemination and Uptake across Canada

Because Canadian vacations and maternity benefits tend to exceed those in the U.S., the conventional wisdom is that employees north of the border get a pretty good deal. However, new research reveals how in some areas employees in this country really lag behind workers in other parts of the world.

RECRUITERS TAKE NOTE:

Longwoods Publishing has a very busy Healthcare JobSheet on our website. Positions are posted on our JobSheet and promoted in the Longwoods weekly eLetter which goes out every Tuesday morning to over 40,000+ readers. The JobSheet is a very popular feature and is used by recruiters seeking the top candidates in the healthcare sector.

We plan to extend this popular niche offering to the exhibitor area of HealthAchieve2008 - November 3 and 4, 2008. The Longwoods Publishing exhibit booth is just to your right as you get off the escalators on the HealthAchieve exhibit floor.

Front and centre in our space Longwoods will have an old fashioned Laundromat style bulletin board with the positions from the JobSheet pinned to it.

Up to 8,000 attendees will pass by this board on November 2nd and 3rd. They are bound to stop, abruptly, and read the laundromat-inspired pin-up notes offering new career opportunities.

If you have an exhibit at the show your posting can direct people to your booth. If not, it can direct them to your online recruiting site. Longwoods will prepare and print your ads in advance so everything will look neat, tidy and professional.

We are offering this fun feature at no extra charge beyond the rate of a job posting on the Longwoods Healthcare JobSheet. Contact Susan Hale for details of how to post and the related costs.

I am looking forward to hearing from you. This should be fun.

For more information email Susan Hale, or call me at 416-864-9667 x 104
