摘要

几十年来,美国的公共卫生部门一直面临劳动力短缺和招聘新员工的挑战。要重新规划公共卫生系统,就必须为卫生部门配备足够的人员。本评论总结了各州和地方卫生部门在招聘过程中面临的已知问题,重点关注公务员和择优录用方面的障碍。尽管卫生部门最近获得了招聘新员工的资金,但他们在招聘新员工方面仍然举步维艰。改革建议包括跟踪招聘流程指标;实施正式的质量改进措施,从战略上解决延迟问题;制定正式途径,将研究员、实习生和承包商转为员工职位;在短期内采取变通办法,并在必要和可行的情况下对招聘规则进行法律修改。

When Money Is Not Enough: Reimagining Public Health Requires Systematic Solutions To Hiring Barriers.

Public health departments in the US have experienced workforce shortages and challenges in recruiting new employees for decades. Reimagining the public health system will require sufficiently staffed health departments. This Commentary summarizes what is known about the issues that state and local health departments face during the hiring process, with a focus on civil service and merit-based hiring barriers. Although health departments have recently received funding to recruit new employees, they still struggle to hire them. Recommendations for change include tracking hiring process metrics; implementing formal quality improvement to strategically resolve delays; developing formal pathways for converting fellows, interns, and contractors into staff positions; and initiating workarounds in the short term and legal changes to hiring rules as necessary and feasible.
