I went into medicine because I wanted to help people get better and stay well, but along the way my own well-being was eroded. I was determined to remain engaged as a physician, so I worked with an executive coach to clarify what was most important to me as a physician, as a father, husband, son, and friend – and that’s when things changed for me (<a href="https://soundcloud.com/ahahospitals/sets/tom-jenike-masterclass" target="_blank" title="SoundCloud: Tom Jenike Masterclass">listen to Tom’s beating burnout podcast</a>). I began to understand that I wasn’t alone in feeling burned out and that my colleagues and friends needed the same help I had just found. This work and mission has since grown well beyond my physician colleagues, expanding to leaders and team members in all health care roles. AHA now offers special sessions on this topic for its members with <a href="/leadership-experiences">2023 Leadership Experience sessions</a> February and October. <h2>Q: What advice would you give other health care leaders coming out of COVID-19 in terms of well-being and creating of a culture of resiliency?</h2> Health care providers need to hear – directly from the top levels of leadership – an acknowledgment that practicing medicine, while a purpose-driven profession, comes with challenges and sacrifice. They must hear that these sacrifices are seen and deeply appreciated. Also, that a focus on self-care and well-being is the path to sustained professional success and fulfillment and is paramount in running a modernized health care system. For hospitals, health systems and other organizations, wellness should be a long-term commitment and include three key components: <ol> <li>Begin to talk about this culture of well-being and resiliency consistently, and, importantly, “walk the talk.”</li> <li>Make meaningful investments in people and in addressing the processes that can result in burnout and disengagement.</li> <li>Celebrate health care professionals who prioritize their self-care and their personal priorities as a signal that they are committed to long, meaningful careers in medicine.</li> </ol> <h2>Q: You’ve been doing well-being work for nearly a decade. What kind of impact have you seen it have on your colleagues, your teams and, ultimately, the work to treat patients?</h2> As a result of this work, colleagues have a significantly enhanced experience of their life, gaining professional fulfillment and greater organizational engagement. Participants — and sometimes their family members — tell us that the program has saved their careers and, in some cases, their marriages and even their lives. The beauty of it all is that healthier, satisfied, thriving caregivers means all of us receive better outcomes and health care. It brings us back to the foundation of why we’re in health care – to improve the lives of those around us. Tom Jenike, M.D., a family practice physician, serves as chief well-being officer and senior vice president at Novant Health.

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 09:38:54 -0600 AHA Physician Alliance Succession Planning: A Guide to Help Hospitals and Health System Leaders Plan /succession-planning-guide-help-hospitals-and-health-system-leaders-plan-future <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8"> Succession planning can feel like a luxury, even in the best of times. The AHA connected with hospital leaders across the country to understand how they are integrating talent development and succession planning into their culture and operation. The challenges and opportunities identified are presented in this report to help hospitals and health system leaders prioritize and support a robust and comprehensive succession planning program. Particularly over the last two plus years, succession planning may have struggled to garner leadership attention amidst significant challenges associated with the pandemic. But given the talent shortages, turnover and retirements, the talent landscape in health care is rapidly shifting and efforts are needed to consider and plan for the future of leadership. <blockquote>"I think part of it is just identifying the personalities and the type of people you want in these roles before they know it. And then giving people opportunities." David Perlstein, M.D., president and CEO, SBH Health System</blockquote> Based on input from hospital and health system leadership, AHA, in partnership with talent management firm, STS, has compiled a guide to evaluating your organization’s current state for succession planning and identifying key factors for developing or enhancing your program.&nbsp; To view all of our leadership resources visit the Physician Alliance <a href="/physician-alliance-be-well">Lead Well</a> page.

Tue, 03 May 2022 10:38:25 -0500 AHA Physician Alliance Members in Action: Northwell Health /members-action-northwell-health <div class="container"><div class="row"><div class="col-md-8"><h2>Be Well: Northwell Health Center for Traumatic Stress, Resilience and Recovery</h2>Northwell Health is an integrated delivery system with 23 hospitals, over 800 outpatient facilities and 76,000 employees and is one of the largest employers in New York State. Given the size and scope of the team and the work they do, including extensive trauma response programs, Northwell Health had been developing a trauma center for team and community members before the COVID-19 pandemic, which only accelerated the need.Prior to the founding of the Center for Traumatic Stress, Resilience and Recovery, Northwell Health psychiatric teams were already working with people who experienced trauma as a result of natural disasters, like Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Harvey, working with veterans with PTSD, as well as with the 9/11 first responders at the World Trade Center. Because of their work with Veterans, first responders and their families they were already set up with the resources to prioritize caring for their own workforce to better take care of patients when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.&nbsp;The resulting Center for Traumatic Stress, Resilience and Recovery (CTSRR) started as a voluntary effort to bring support to different campuses, but as the needs became clearer it quickly became a funded, organized structure to oversee trauma and resilience services, evaluative and research activities. The CTSRR is a partnership between Northwell’s Behavioral Health Service Department, Department of Occupational Medicine, and Human Resources.&nbsp;<h3>Featured Podcast:&nbsp;<a href="https://soundcloud.com/advancinghealth/wearehealthcare-addressing-workforce-challenges-with-northwell-health?utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=social_sharing">#WeAreHealthcare: Addressing Workforce Challenges in America's Health Care Systems</a></h3>A talented, qualified, engaged and diverse workforce is at the heart of America’s health care system. But hospitals and health systems face mounting and critical staffing shortages that could jeopardize access to care in the communities they serve. As hospitals struggle to retain and support an exhausted workforce they are left looking for unique ways to better support and enhance resilience among clinicians and to address the traumatic stress caused by COVID-19.

Despite growing recognition of the importance of communication, gaps remain in current communication skills among both trainees and practicing clinicians. Join AHA for this session to learn how to communicate serious news to patients and families in patient-centered fashion using the SPIKES framework and how to empathically respond to emotions using the NURSE mnemonic&nbsp;to improve this experience for both patients and providers. This session will be led by Julia Vermylen, M.D, MPH, a practicing palliative care physician and medical educator focused on teaching serious illness communication techniques at Northwestern University and Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
