Healthcare worker burnout isn't just a personal crisis—it's a systemic emergency costing our healthcare system $4.6 billion annually. The human toll is even more staggering: increased medical errors, compromised patient safety, rising hospital-acquired infections, and a deteriorating standard of care. Most concerning, our current healthcare culture often forces an impossible choice between provider well-being and patient care.
But what if this is a false dichotomy? What if the path forward requires both individual and organizational transformation working in concert?
In this interactive session, participants will explore a dual-level framework that bridges personal resilience with systemic change. Through practical tools and collaborative approaches, you'll discover how to create sustainable changes that serve both healthcare workers and patients. You'll leave with actionable strategies that can be implemented at both individual and organizational levels—without sacrificing either provider well-being or quality of care.
Participants will:
- Recognize and articulate the interconnected impact of burnout on individual providers, patient outcomes, and healthcare systems—understanding why personal solutions alone aren't enough.
- Discover practical ways to align individual well-being practices with organizational change initiatives, creating sustainable improvements in both provider and patient care.
- Learn and practice specific tools for building resilient healthcare teams, implementing supportive organizational policies, and fostering a culture where both providers and patients can thrive.
This talk explores practical strategies for building effective well-being programs in healthcare systems. Participants will learn the power of active listening, how to foster collaborative relationships through cooperative action, and ways to address challenges by starting small. Drawing from real-world examples, this session highlights the importance of supporting healthcare teams to improve both provider well-being and patient care outcomes.
