Assessment of Strategies to Retain Experienced Technical and Professional Healthcare Personnel After Retirement Age: Mature Healthcare Workers Focus Group Research

摘要

In mid-2006, Johns Hopkins Hospital, in cooperation with Cedars-Sinai Health System and Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), received a grant from the US Department of Labor and the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) to conduct focus group research among technical and professional healthcare workers who were either approaching retirement or who have recently retired. The primary purpose of this qualitative research was to determine what strategies can be implemented and what steps can be taken in that would improve the retention of nurses and allied health workers who are approaching retirement.
