You are in good company we all have...but should we??? 19 20 So now what. We know that burnout is an adverse outcome for health care providers which we need to address Lets figure out what how to approach this problem in a systematic way. 21 22 First steps.. Step 1: Overall what is our goal. reduce burnout in ourselves and colleagues, focus on improving provider wellness in achievement of the quadruple aim in healthcare, etc Step 2: Literature Review to better understand the problem Step 3:What is current culture surrounding this problem and provide a better definition of the problem. Define problem better: What is the problem exactly and why is it a problem? what is burnout and why do you consider it a problem at all? What is the evidence that this is a problem, local or based on literature? Who are the stakeholders who may have something to gain or lose by addressing this problem? 23 24
Leadership Personal Factors Culture/work environment Support Systems/Relationships Resources Stressors Policy and Procedure Personality/Biology Clinical Demands Organizational/ Systemic Factors Individual Factors Next. So 1 we know the problem, 2 we have some literature about the problem 3 we have engaged our stakeholders in defining what factors contribute to the problem What do we want to do to fix the problem.or at least begin to address the problem. 25 26 Step 5:SMART AIM Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time based To do this we need to figure out: What changes can we make which will will result in improvement of the problem based on what we have discovered about the problem and the literature? How will we measure success? What outcome will you use? more to come. SMART AIM We will increase mindfulness by doing 30 minute experiential mindfulness exercises before work once a week for 8 weeks. We will evaluate the impact of this intervention by measuring the Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale (CAMS R) before and after the intervention. 27 28 Step 6: PDSA (plan do study act) How can we measure success in the arena of wellness and burnout? 29 30
