The healthcare landscape is challenged by emerging and severe public health threats, and fast shifting priorities. There is an urgent need to build public health workforce capacity to enable rapid adaptation and effective responses to these threats. We outline a whole system's learning approach for analyzing public health systems in collaboration with public health leaders.
The project included: i) a system's analysis involving a cross-sectional mixed methods approach including a quantitative investigation, interviews and focus groups of leading representatives and students from five higher education institutions providing public health training, 49 managers, and 31 stakeholders from lead public health organizations; ii) develop and implement training interventions, involving human factors tools for evaluating and developing actionable solutions.
We developed and implemented three interventions: 1) An online user interface for public health professional development and collaboration; 2) A Public Health Leadership Academy; and 3) A video outreach to key stakeholders and communities using studies.
A holistic perspective incorporating human factors, and a systems approach provided a comprehensive understanding and approch towards the public health workforce while identifying leverage points for durable improvement.
医疗保健领域面临着新出现的严重公共卫生威胁以及快速变化的优先事项的挑战。迫切需要建设公共卫生劳动力能力，以便能够迅速适应并有效应对这些威胁。我们概述了一种与公共卫生领导者合作分析公共卫生系统的全系统学习方法。
该项目包括：i）一项系统分析，采用横断面混合方法，包括对五所提供公共卫生培训的高等教育机构的主要代表和学生、49名管理人员以及主要公共卫生组织的31名利益相关者进行定量调查、访谈和焦点小组讨论；ii）开发并实施培训干预措施，包括用于评估和制定可行解决方案的人为因素工具。
我们开发并实施了三项干预措施：1）一个用于公共卫生专业发展和协作的在线用户界面；2）一个公共卫生领导力学院；3）利用研究成果制作视频向关键利益相关者和社区进行宣传。
纳入人为因素的整体视角和系统方法，在确定可持续改进的杠杆点时，为公共卫生劳动力提供了全面的理解和方法。
