The “Seven Rs” of Recruiting Healthcare Professionals for Qualitative Studies

1. The “Seven Rs” of Recruiting Healthcare Professionals for Qualitative Studies When it comes to recruiting for medical, or healthcare, studies, you might first think about patient recruitment. It’s true that many healthcare qualitative studies are centered around patients, but more and more, we’re seeing studies focused on clinicians and healthcare providers. Recruiting healthcare providers, rather than patients, poses additional challenges. From access to clinicians, to incentivizing an already over-worked population to participate in qualitative studies, recruitment agencies need to have a different game-plan when it comes to successful recruitment and participation in qualitative studies of healthcare workers. Similar to any insite research and consulting, the quality of the outcome is largely dependent on the quality of the recruits. Designing a good market research study takes a lot of energy and time, and recruiting takes up a bulk of it. Recruiting hurdles can derail studies if they blow the budget and/or take more time than originally allotted to complete a study. As with any specialized or technical market research study, it’s always best to partner with nationwide qualitative research firms. You may be wondering why a recruiting firm would have more success than managing recruitment internally. A scholarly article written by Leif Solberg provides guidance to many nationwide recruiting agencies when it comes to health care recruitment. Mr. Solberg classified seven “R-Factors” that can influence recruiting healthcare professionals. The seven factors are: reputation, relationships, rewards, requirements,

2. respect, resolution, and reciprocity.
