Interview Readiness: How Job Seekers can Hedge their Bets
By Riia O'Donnell - August 24, 2018
Understand that if you’ve been scheduled for an interview, you already have the qualifications needed. No one wastes valuable recruiting time on unqualified candidates.

Why Is EHR Interoperability So Difficult?
By Faith A. Coleman, MD - August 16, 2018
The point of the blame game isn’t to persecute the players, but to understand the dynamics of interoperability issues, in order to create solutions. Of the stakeholders, only policymakers have a clear, strong interest in promoting interoperability. They should ensure that cross-vendor interoperability isn’t prohibitively costly for EHR vendors and providers. Once the business case for interoperability outweighs the business case against it, both vendors and providers can pursue it without great harm to their bottom lines.

Onboarding in Healthcare: Creating Connections that Last
By Riia O'Donnell - July 19, 2018
For all the resources institutions utilize to attract new employees, the effort can be for naught if employees don’t remain on the job. In today’s tight applicant market, every institution has an eye on retention, but unfortunately, the healthcare industry is second only to hospitality when it comes to turnover. In 2017 data compiled from over 10,000 health providers showed turnover at 20.6% up from 15.6% in 2010. For providers that lose one-fifth of their workforce per year, the costs can be astronomical.

How to Measure ROI in Healthcare Recruiting
By Riia O'Donnell - June 19, 2018
ROI is calculated by the amount spent on a specific hire, and it goes further to add in costs post-offer: training time, lost production, etc., to measure the actual costs involved in affecting the hire and whether it was worthy of the effort. Beyond the cost to bring a staff member on board, ROI can be used to calculate the actual time it takes to repay the investment in the new hire.

You’re diligent in protecting your institution and promoting a vibrant, engaged workforce, and your recruitment team works hard to position you as a top employer in the area.
