Benchmarking the Health-care Talent Pool April 09, 2009 How do your health-care workers stack up against those across town, around the state, or throughout the country?
By Matt Bolch
Right now, predictive data across a wide spectrum of health-care talent does not exist, but the American Management Association and actuarial assessment firm HR Chally Group are about to change that. The AMA currently is recruiting larger hospitals and health-care organizations to participate in the first-ever health-care management research study.
Sandra Edwards, senior vice president of the New York-based AMA, says the study aims to help organizations identify key roles for today and tomorrow, to unearth key attributes and competencies that separate merely adequate workers from superior ones, and to allow health-care HR leaders to assess their talent against the benchmark.
Organizations that have 50 or more people in a particular role are invited to participate in the study, which is expected to be released in the fall. Participation is free, and respondents will receive a copy of the study and can compare a sample of their workers against the benchmark.
