This time of ongoing crisis has severely tested the resilience of clinical staff, increasing the risk of burnout and emotional exhaustion. Health care leaders must address the issue of resilience right now or the problem will accelerate. Leaders that do not engage their staff, that do not have visibility or transparency and do not give and receive feedback are risking loss of trust and even staff turnover. On this episode, we’ll consider ways to foster resilience among staff and avoid pitfalls in leadership.

This episode continues our discussion on the impact of COVID-19 on clinical practices by examining a new framework for health care, with the idea that it must be more adaptable, flexible and reliable than in the past. Practice data should reflect what we need to know about access, quality and even productivity. Finally, we explore the best approach for creating and developing new ideas and practices, one that originates from those involved in the care every day and not imposed from the top down.

Leaders in health care often confront the simple truth, “You can’t fix what you can’t measure.” In this episode, we explore the crucial need for a comprehensive, data-driven practice model and how to provide that across departments and disciplines. A data-driven model enables complex analysis of clinical practices to drive policy, refine best practices and deliver better outcomes for patients.

Due to a number of reasons—physician retirement, limited medical school and residency slots, fewer physicians in rural practices and a population that is aging and growing—the country is beginning to experience a shortage of physicians. This problem is only expected to balloon in the next decade. On this episode, we examine a number of potential remedies for the physician shortage, from greater efficiencies in practice to a reliance on the clinical team approach.
