The contemporary healthcare sector faces many dynamics that
present challenges and opportunities. Advancement in
technology, globalization, and competition in the industry are
among the components that have significantly altered the
manner providers engage in their daily activities. Again, the
calls for better and quality services provision have led to
innovation-led approaches. Another important challenge facing
the sector is the shortage of clinical staff. The report looks into
the recruitment and retention challenges in the health sector. In
particular, the discussion will evaluate the situation at Chatuge
Regional Hospital in North Georgia. The facility is over 54
years old – currently offering emergency, trauma, and heart
services. There is a great need for regular training and
motivation of clinical staff to foster efficiency and productivity
in the provision of health services.
Chatuge Hospital, like other facilities, experience challenges in
recruitment and retention of experienced health professionals.

2. Hospital administrators should continuously work on initiatives
such as talent development and motivation to ensure the
retention of staff and the provision of quality services.
Recruitment and retention of health professionals remain a
significant concern in the quest to ensure patient satisfaction
and access to quality services. The trend has seen most hospitals
experience high staff turnover and operational costs. Leadership
strategies in an organization impact the productivity,
motivation, and retention of staff (Kroezen et al., 2015).
Hospital administrators need to work on elaborate human
resources initiatives that capture needs and interests. The issues
highlighted are essential in not only improving service
provision but also enhance the satisfaction and retention of
clinical staff.
Several challenges hamper the process of the improvement of
the health facilities and professionals. Inadequate remuneration
of the nurses erodes the image of the nursing profession. In the
years gone, most people respected the nursing field due to the
professionalism exuded by the personnel. However, the
remuneration factor erodes the image of the profession in that
the nurses earn low wages while they invest significantly in
training and performance of their respective jobs (Kroezen et
al., 2015). The nurses get de-motivated when working in a less
conducive environment. Also, the challenges highlighted above
have effects on patient safety and satisfaction. The issue
undermines the reputation of a health facility; thereby, leading
to low-level sustainability of the business. Healthcare care
providers need to take steps that will lead to the formulation of
strategies that appreciates diversity and universality in the
healthcare sector.
The facility needs to train the clinical staff on the basic tenets
of culturally-suitable interventions that suit the needs of
patients in the region. The move will help in fostering positive
patient-nurse relationships and attainment of favorable health

3. outcomes. More so, the decision-making process should be
informed about the need to advance patient satisfaction. The
application of nursing theory and models is helpful for a nurse
educator, including in staffing and leadership (Flott & Lois,
2016). It is also prudent for a nurse educator to understand the
needs and interests of clinical staff as a means of providing
necessary skill development and support. At times, nurses and
ancillary staff may feel less motivated; hence, their
discouragement in offering quality services to the patients.
Besides, the clinical administrator at Chatuge Regional Hospital
should strive to enhance the productivity of the clinical staff
through extrinsic motivation strategies. A useful training model
should persuade nurses to get appropriate skills while
communicating their challenges and opportunities to the
relevant individuals (Flott & Lois, 2016). A useful leadership
model should provide a clear framework for the evaluation of
the expertise of the clinical staff members. The overall goal is
to offer a multidimensional solution that addresses issues such
as skills’ constraints, cultural needs, and de-motivation of
nurses.
In conclusion, health facilities need to work on effective
programs that promote the welfare of stakeholders, including
patients and clinical staff. The move has benefits in enabling
access to quality and cost-effective services. The human
resource department at Chatuge Regional Hospital has an
opportunity to improve services by addressing the needs and
interests of health professionals. It is necessary to work on
effective strategies that promote employee motivation, talent
development, and retention.
