As efforts are made to increase the production of new human resources for health, simultaneous attention must be placed on retaining existing health workers in hospitals and other health facilities for as long as possible to increase access to healthcare services. The US Agency for International Development (USAID)'s CapacityPlus project is designing a rapid retention survey tool using the discrete choice experiment, a powerful, quantitative method to determine the relative importance health workers place on different characteristics related to their choice of employment. The user-friendly tool will allow human resource managers to rapidly assess retention preferences to better pinpoint the bundle of incentives and interventions that would most cost-effectively motivate health workers to take up posts in underserved facilities. The results of the survey can be used locally to create evidence-based incentive packages or to advocate with policy-makers and other decision-makers regarding the most favorable national retention policies and strategies for implementation.
在努力增加卫生领域新人力资源产出的同时，必须同时关注尽可能长时间地留住医院和其他卫生机构中的现有卫生工作者，以增加获得医疗服务的机会。美国国际开发署（USAID）的“能力提升”项目正在设计一种使用离散选择实验的快速留用调查工具，离散选择实验是一种强大的定量方法，用于确定卫生工作者对与他们就业选择相关的不同特征的相对重视程度。这个用户友好型工具将使人力资源经理能够快速评估留用偏好，以便更好地确定最具成本效益的激励措施和干预措施组合，从而激励卫生工作者到服务不足的机构任职。该调查结果可在当地用于制定基于证据的激励方案，或就最有利的国家留用政策和战略向政策制定者及其他决策者进行倡导，以供实施。
