Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze the loss of personnel in health institutions, and put forward the suggestions.
MethodsThe staff turnover in various health institutions was analyzed based on a continuous monitoring data from 2012 to 2019.
ResultsIn 2012-2019, the turnover rate of health institutions had generally remained at about 1.5%-2.0%. In 2015-2019, the natural attrition rate was 0.44%-0.70% and the job-changing rate was 0.06%-0.12%. Among all kinds of institutions, the loss of staff in township health centers and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were the most serious.
ConclusionsSome new characteristics have emerged in the flow of health personnel, which have gradually adapted to the demand for health services, and the role of market mechanisms in the allocation of health human resources has gradually emerged.For the institutions with serious attrition, it is suggested to strengthen policy integration, guide the rational flow of health personnel.
