The healthcare HR professional does more than hire nurses and doctors. The variety of staffing needs, ongoing personnel management, training and development all fall under the responsibility of HR in the health industry. The medical field can be difficult and stressful, and as the people tasked with managing and supporting doctors and nurses, we professionals in healthcare need to be partners with practitioners in improving employee engagement, job satisfaction, and in turn, the quality of patient care. The role of the HR manager extends to research on rules and regulations governing the health care system.
