Today marks the first annual Health Workforce Well-being Day to recognize the importance of protecting health workers’ well-being to sustain our health system and ensure quality patient care. In 2023, nearly half of health workers reported often feeling burned out, up from a third in 2018. Here at Advocate Health we're focused on embedding well-being into our culture because we know a healthy workforce means healthy patients and communities. #HealthWorkerWellBeing #HWWBDay

Creating a sustainable health system starts with a safe, fulfilled, and well health workforce. The first annual #HWWBDay is Monday 03/18 and provides a new opportunity for collective action that everyone involved in the U.S. health system can get behind.

In pursuit of improved health workforce well-being and patient care outcomes, the National Academy of Medicine Collaborative and founding partners—including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation —have established March 18 as the annual Health Workforce Well-Being (HWWB) Day. Burnout is at a crisis level among health workers. We need to do more than celebrate our health workers. Healthcare institutions, policies, systems, and leaders are taking tangible steps to reduce burnout and support the well-being of those who provide care--because a healthy workforce means healthy patients and communities. The first annual #HWWBDay provides a new opportunity for everyone to collectively act and implement proven changes that improve the well-being of health workers. Take action with me on March 18!

My vision for social change is not just about removing systemic barriers to health or promoting equitable health and health care delivery.   According to Healthy People 2030, health equity is “the attainment of the highest level of health for all people. Achieving health equity requires valuing everyone equally with focused and ongoing societal efforts to address avoidable inequalities, historical and contemporary injustices, and the elimination of health and health care disparities.”   YES. I am here for this definition and this goal. But the vision that drives me is not just about health and health equity.   I believe that everyone has strengths. EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON.   I want to live in a world where everyone doesn't just have the opportunity for health (though I do want that).    I want to live in a world where everyone has the opportunity to discover, and develop, and give their gifts freely.   This is, of course, an aspirational vision. I know there are so many vast and complex aspects of American health care that I can never address or influence.    But there is one focus that feels like my calling. That cuts through the noise. That comes from my heart. This is why I focus on person-centered and strengths-based health care.     To me, this is a touchstone for clarity in the midst of complexity. This is a method for lifting people up. This is a path towards treating all people with dignity and respect. This is about not only seeing deficits or problems or risk factors. This is about emphasizing strengths, expertise, and capability.    This is a practice. It is not the default in the culture of health care to identify and amplify strengths. It takes intention and effort to see and name and focus on gifts in the people we encounter. I believe it is an effort worth making.    This is my message, for myself, and you, and you, and every single "you."    Give your gifts to the world!    Look for the gifts in the people around you. Create health care systems where we don't just treat illness, we recognize and rally around strengths. . . . 👋🏻 Hi, I'm Ariel and I help organizations design and implement person-centered strategies for health system transformation 💌 Send me a message!

Thank you, Australasian College of Health Service Management (ACHSM), for the opportunity to discuss the significance of human-centred design in improving employee and patient experiences. During the conference, it became evident that many challenges discussed as "health sector issues" are prevalent across many sectors, such as disability, aged care, education, and early years care. Addressing these "shared" challenges requires a systemic approach transcending individual industries. Government and civil society must come together, recognise the common ground, and collaboratively design a more optimistic and secure human system of care and support at all stages of life. Embracing a holistic perspective and fostering collaboration among inter-industry colleagues is critical to creating a brighter future. Let's work towards a more inclusive and sustainable system that prioritises the well-being of employees and patients alike. #Healthcare #HumanCentredDesign #Collaboration #SystemicApproach #EmployeeExperience #PatientCare #ACHSM #HealthSector #InterIndustryCollaboration

Despite the pandemic’s spotlight on the need for a strong, skilled, resilient #HealthWorkforce, there is still increased concern about health worker’s wellbeing.
