I’m really looking forward to co-presenting at this conference with my dyad partner, Dr. Schneider. This is our physician and APP wellbeing journey.
We’ve been at this for almost 4 years. We have been deliberate, steady, and patient. We began with a new Center of Excellence to house and drive our work. We created a strategy — a mission, set of strategic objectives and goals, metrics, a 3-5 year roadmap, and a set of evidence-based practices. And we have maintained our strategy while at the same time evolving and enhancing it based on external and internal data. Data-based decision making has been paramount.
We have created strong partnerships, sponsors, and alliances across our system in support for our work, from front-line physician leaders and our service line leaders all the way to our executive leadership team, governance committees, executive board, and president’s cabinet. Everything we do has been a team effort and focused on ensuring that impacts to wellbeing are considered in all strategic and operational decisions.
More importantly, we’ve taken a firm stance, while also recognizing and influencing other systematic drivers of wellbeing at play, that our leaders and wellness-centered leadership behaviors are at the core of everything we do. And the foundation of this wellness-centered leadership approach is simple and clear — “Care about people always”. This does not equate to just talking about caring about people or inserting this language into strategic objectives, plans or communications, but actually and genuinely caring about people and demonstrating concrete engagement behaviors that the evidence shows impact wellbeing positively and change the way people feel — feeling valued, heard, involved in decisions, supported, appreciated and recognized, empowered, and supported.
Finally, our strategy is starting to work and yield cultural change. The results and the data are encouraging and continue to validate the correlation between burnout, feeling valued, and wellness-centered leadership engagement behaviors.
