Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Health Workforce Studies
  • Rural Health

Background:

  • Healthcare workforce planning requires understanding worker perspectives and employer needs.
  • Data from Colleagues in Caring's minimum data set informs workforce analysis.
  • Rural healthcare settings face unique challenges in staffing and retention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine healthcare workforce dynamics from worker and employer viewpoints.
  • To analyze job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and reasons for leaving among key healthcare professions.
  • To provide data for evidence-based healthcare workforce planning in a rural state.

Main Methods:

  • A statewide study analyzed data from medical laboratorians, respiratory therapists, radiographers, and registered nurses.
  • Job satisfaction, intention to leave position/profession, and reasons were assessed.
  • Hospital vacancy and turnover rates for these professions were also analyzed.

Main Results:

  • An aging workforce was identified across the four studied healthcare professions.
  • Over 20% of participants in each profession were likely to leave their jobs within 12 months.
  • Reasons for leaving varied by profession, including career mobility, dissatisfaction, and stress, yet hospital vacancy/turnover rates were modest.

Conclusions:

  • Despite job satisfaction, significant intent to leave positions exists among rural healthcare workers.
  • Workforce planning must address profession-specific retention factors.
  • Modest hospital turnover suggests potential for targeted retention strategies.
