Analyzing the barriers of human resources analytics in the health system and explaining improvement strategies

Considering the importance of human resources analysis and the need that organizations, especially the health system, have to analyze data in this field so that they can manage it well and use the results for evidence-based planning and decision making. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of identification of barriers and providing analytical solutions for human resources in the health system. The present qualitative study was conducted using the method of content analysis in 1402 through semi-structured interviews with 14 experts including professors and senior managers of Kerman University of Medical Sciences using the purposeful snowball sampling method until reaching theoretical saturation. Then, with the help of MAXQDA2020 software, coding and analysis were done, and the validity and reliability of the findings were confirmed based on the criteria of believability, reliability, and verifiability. In this research, 109 open codes containing obstacles and solutions were extracted and after combining the codes, obstacles were identified in 8 sub-categories and solutions in 6 sub-categories. It is suggested that plans and policies be made in order to improve the situation and the analysis process of the human resources of the health system with a systemic and transformative view of the entire health system and its information analysis, and by applying the presented solutions, measures for the challenges think ahead.
