Recruit and Retain 2

Closed

Making it Work will move forward work developed in Recruit and Retain (R&R) (NPP 2007-13) which investigated the underlying causes of challenges in recruiting and retaining health professionals in rural areas. An output from R&R was a Business model (R&RBM) which recommended solutions be delivered using a systems redesign approach, including seven steps designed to optimise the outcomes of the products and services. Making it Work partners will implement the R&RBM tailored to local and regional public sector needs, with each regional implementation evaluated as a case study. Local/regional sustainability and viability plans will be created to support on-going stability in the public sector workforce as well as the wider community within the participating areas. An overarching evaluation will be undertaken and used to develop a final deliverable – a knowledge transfer document. This will take the form of a policy framework document highlighting the costs/benefits of the interventions and providing a flexible policy framework, customizable by other jurisdictions interested in replicating the Making it Work successes.
