Worker Well-Being Resources
Burnout is a longstanding national problem threatening clinician health, patient outcomes, and the health care system. Joint Commission researchers, in collaboration with experts from the AMA and Stanford Medicine, conducted a study to assess the current state of organizational efforts to assess and address clinician well-being in a national sample Joint Commission-accredited hospitals federally-qualified health centers. Although half of the organizations reported taking steps to improve clinician well-being, a minority are measuring clinician well-being, and few are taking a comprehensive approach or established a chief wellness officer position to advance clinician well-being as an organizational priority. While there are no accreditation requirements specific to this topic, we understand that many organizations struggle with knowing where to begin addressing this serious issue. To help organizations begin their journey to build a more resilient workforce, we curated resources and organized them into collections that target five key action steps.
