Put Your Money Where the Impact Is

About this Session:

Picture this: healthcare workers, running on empty like runners, whose bodies can no longer endure the race, but they have 10 more patients to see that day, plus all that paperwork. Burnout can increase the likelihood of medical errors and malpractice, lower patient satisfaction, and hinder healthcare workers from forming interpersonal relationships with their patients. The wellbeing of our clinicians is an urgent issue within the healthcare industry and the toll has been so significant that many professionals have either already left or are contemplating leaving their roles. Recognizing the severity of this crisis, the U.S. Surgeon General urged hospitals to step up their efforts in supporting healthcare workers by offering more mental health care and additional resources to address burnout effectively. It is a crucial step forward, but actions speak louder than words, and many organizations are acting. Our healthcare workers are as resilient as they come, so let’s give them the resources and support they need to keep going.
