Abstract

This study examined the implementation and effects of the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) at the Conrado F. Estrella Regional Medical and Trauma Center, focusing on its role in strengthening public healthcare human resource systems. Using a descriptive-evaluative design, the research assessed four HR systems—Recruitment, Selection and Placement (RSP); Performance Management (PM); Learning and Development (L&D); and Rewards and Recognition (RR)—in terms of implementation level, organizational impact, and challenges. Results showed that L&D was highly implemented, while RSP, PM, and RR were moderately implemented, indicating institutional progress alongside areas needing improvement, particularly in merit-based practices and performance alignment. PRIME-HRM enhanced HR efficiency, employee engagement, and organizational performance. However, implementation was moderately constrained by limited program awareness, inadequate training, resource constraints, and policy misalignment. The study concludes that sustained PRIME-HRM success depends on institutional readiness, strategic leadership, and systems-based interventions. A comprehensive action plan involving capacity building, policy standardization, technology integration, and strengthened monitoring is recommended to institutionalize a transparent, inclusive, and performance-driven HR system, reinforcing professionalism and accountability in public healthcare management.
