Burnout Beyond the Frontlines: Recognizing and Addressing Burnout in Ourselves as Healthcare Leaders

Wellbeing efforts to reduce burnout are often geared towards staff providing direct patient care. Rarely does someone check in on healthcare leaders during critical events and challenging time to see how they are managing. These leaders work long hours holding a tremendous amount of staff distress, patient and family suffering, and organizational risk close to the chest, without a place to examine the impact upon their own psychological wellness. A large part of the role includes keeping sensitive information confidential.

These professionals may not have the support and resources on hand to manage stress and emotions caused by their position. This can lead to taking these stories home and feeling consumed by the role.
