Welcome to Health Views, a blog created by the PEI Health Sector Council to discuss health human resource issues relevant to the PEI health system. This blog is designed to facilitate the sharing of information and stimulate discussion around current and emerging HHR issues in three categories:
· Recruitment and retention
· Collaborative practice
· Optimization of health human resources
These categories are intentionally broad so that we can explore a variety of topics – issues like scope of practice, interprofessional care, health worker shortages, workplace bullying, education and public awareness of health human resource issues and the changing paradigm of health care on a regional and global scale. The PEIHSC has explored many of these issues since its inception in 2006. Scope of practice and interprofessional care were discussed in two forums (the Scope of Practice Forum 2007 and Collaborative Practice Forum 2008) and a series of focus groups. Recruitment and retention of health workers was addressed by a Job Satisfaction and Retention Survey in 2008, and health career promotion was the focus of two exit strategy surveys conducted with grade 12 students in 2007 and 2008 and the directory of Health Careers on Prince Edward Island. Check out our quarterly newsletter, Health Benefits, for further discussion of these and other issues.
Stay tuned to the site for upcoming articles and commentary. We welcome your comments and also invite you to submit articles and commentary to be considered for future postings.
