The impact and cost of short-term health staffing in remote communities

这个项目的目的是审查在偏远社区增加短期保健工作人员对病人接受服务的程度、长期驻地初级保健工作人员的工作量和态度以及保健服务的效率和成本的影响。在该国健康状况最差的偏远社区，缺乏关于这种“飞进飞出”（FIFO）劳动力的信息。该项目旨在向消费者、卫生从业人员、卫生服务规划人员和政策制定者通报先进先出的影响，并有助于制定旨在稳定偏远地区卫生人力的战略。

This project aims to examine the impact of the increasing levels of short-term health staffing in remote communities upon service acceptability to patients, workload and attitudes of long-term resident primary health care staff, and the effectiveness and cost of health services. There is a dearth of information about this 'fly in/fly out' (FIFO) workforce in remote communities, which have the worst health outcomes in the country. The project aims to inform consumers, health practitioners, health service planners and policy-makers about the impact of FIFO, as well as to contribute to the development of strategies designed to stabilise the remote health workforce.
