SUMMARY:Sustainable Strategies to Support Wellbeing for Healthcare Professionals
DESCRIPTION:This panel has been approved for 1.50 ACHE Virtual Interactive Education Credits. \n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of the pandemic\, pre-existing challenges with healthcare professional burnout have only accelerated. This has resulted in challenges for these individuals and their loved ones\, as well as workforce shortages that are putting a strain on the healthcare system. In addition\, adverse patient events have been attributed to healthcare staff who have had trouble sleeping\, reduced job satisfaction\, impaired behavior\, and anxiety. These attributes contribute to more serious consequences such as burnout\, depression\, post-traumatic disorder\, and suicidal ideation. Healthcare leaders often struggle with finding long-term solutions to address an important but personal issue for their staff and organization. During this panel\, participants will learn sustainable strategies and approaches that will address wellbeing and resiliency for healthcare professionals in today’s healthcare environment. Even when leaders recognize this as a problem\, they are often presented with confusing information or get-better-quick solutions that bring no lasting change and can sometimes increase cynicism among employees. During this panel\, participants will learn the importance of supporting and sustaining well-being for healthcare professionals in today’s health care environment. \n  \nModerator: \nNick Kagal\, FACHE\, FHIMSS\nHX Client Success Manager\nPress Ganey \nPanelists: \nDr. Debbie Hillard\nLicensed Psychologist\nTexas Health Employee Assistance Program Director \nJasmine Mitchell\nDirector of Patient Experience\nMedical City Arlington \nKimberly Williams\nClinical Excellence Program Manager\nTexas Health Resources \nRegister Here\n  \nSpeakers Bios: \n\n  \nDr. Debbie Hillard earned her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) in 2002 and soon after she served as an Administrator and Clinician for the Johns Hopkins University/Johns Hopkins Hospital Employee Assistance Program\, a role she held until 2011.
