National Rural Recruitment & Retention Network Inc

Prism is a collection of state primary care offices, offices of rural health, area health education centers and other organizations that have partnered to collect data to identify and document outcomes to enhance the retention of clinicians. Through its design, this collaborative approach builds shared interest, cooperation and group wisdom in best practices to promote retention among the collaborative states. Prism provides a standardized and state-of-the-art way for states to gather real-time data from clinicians as they serve in states and the national health service corps (nhsc) loan repayment, scholarship and other incentive programs. This retention data gathering system routinely surveys clinicians as they serve in these public programs to provide quality, consistent, real-time, convenient and ongoing data to inform the management and retention of clinicians in service programs. Prism is a complex, longitudinal data gathering system that incorporates the data collection, analysis and dissemination expertise of the cecil g. Sheps center for health services research. State offices can easily enter, track and manage retention questionnaires. Prism training and technical assistance is provided by 3rnet, supported through a contract with the national rural health association with funds from the us health resources and services administration (hrsa). State collaborative members pay an annual fee to support enhancements to prism.

In 2024, 3rnet extended its candidate tracking and website functionality enjoyed by member organizations directly to employers as a fee based service. 3rnet plus tools was developed over multiple years and marketed to employers who have a small staff to do recruitment activities but need extra assistance in keeping the process organized. A 3rnet plus tools subscriber can pay a monthly or yearly fee to be able to access a candidate tracking system, customizable email functionality and the ability to embed their 3rnet jobs on their own website. Other features are being added to enhance the user experience as dollars and interest grow.
