Beyond Burnout: The Misalignment between Hospital Administrators and Clinicians

The Insightful Nurse Leader with Myles Parilla

Nurses and other allied health professionals, including physicians, have been front and center of the tug-of-war between hospitals and travel/staffing agencies. Nurses, particularly have been lured with different types of offerings from premium pay, school loan reimbursement, sign-on bonus and other types of benefits. To some healthcare systems, this has brought some relief, but what happens after those sign on contracts expire?

While there are on going debates and discussions on how we can stabilize the nursing workforce, it’s imperative to ask every forum where this topic is being discussed:

How are we actually addressing the very reason why nurses left to begin with?

In this episode, I chat with Beth Kutscher, Senior Managing Editor of LinkedIn News, regarding why clinicians hate the word '“Burnout” and how this is an understatement of what clinicians are truly experiencing.

Key Points:

• The disconnect between administrators and nurses/doctors
• Health-care role that saw the most exits the past couple years (*Hint: it’s not nurses)
• Importance of integrating front line clinicians in any innovative ventures
• LinkedIn as a platform to create meaningful discussions and engagement on current issues
• Path to Recovery Newsletter
