During the past 10 years, financial pressures on health service providers have led to a quest for more efficient service delivery and many consequential changes to the organisation and utilisation of staff. This study investigated the organisational responses to such pressures by four major South Australian hospitals and the level of involvement of hospital human resource staff in the staffing issues associated with strategic planning. With one exception, there was little contribution from qualified human resource professionals to staffing decisions involving medical and nursing personnel and little value was placed on their potential input by other professional groups. If, as suggested by writers on strategic human resource management, human resource practice is moving toward a more strategic approach, then there is a large credibility gap for human resource staff to overcome within the South Australian health service.
在过去十年中，医疗服务提供者面临的财务压力促使人们寻求更高效的服务提供方式，并对员工的组织和使用方式带来了许多相应的变化。本研究调查了南澳大利亚四家主要医院对这些压力的组织应对措施，以及医院人力资源工作人员在与战略规划相关的人员配置问题中的参与程度。除了一个例外，合格的人力资源专业人员对涉及医疗和护理人员的人员配置决策贡献甚微，其他专业团体也很少重视他们的潜在投入。如果正如战略人力资源管理方面的作者所建议的那样，人力资源实践正在朝着更具战略性的方法发展，那么南澳大利亚医疗服务体系中的人力资源工作人员就有很大的可信度差距需要克服。
