A Strategy for Recruiting and Retaining Health
Information Management Professionals
Catherine Claiter and Irenewright
Abstract:
In the summer of 1998, the University Health Network (UHN) faced an
acute personnel situation in which an exodus of skilled resources
was taking place. The turnover of information management staff was
increasing dramatically, and despite best efforts to recruit new
employees, the vacancy rate remained at an unsustainable level.
This case study reviews both the short- and longterm strategies
that were employed to address these issues and to establish UHN as
an employer of choice in health information management. Material in
this article is based in part on papers presented at HIMSS 2000 and
INFOCUS 2000 (Cameron, Claiter and Murphy 2000).
