Title:
Mindfulness Toolkit to Combat Healthcare Worker Burnout
Report Date:
2022-04-30
Abstract:
The Triple Aim model of better outcomes, lower costs, and improved patient experiences have long been utilized by health systems across the country. Today, many health systems have transitioned to the newer Quadruple Aim. In the civilian sector, the fourth aim is the care of the healthcare worker (HCW) (Bodenheimer and Sinsky, 2014). The Military Health System's fourth aim is to improve readiness. These additions acknowledge a growing crisis amongst medical HCWs due to high levels of burnout and associated negative outcomes in large, military primary care clinics in South Texas. Burnout is often insidious and manifests over prolonged and repeated exposure to occupational stressors. Mindfulness-based training can enhance individual HCWs abilities to perceive and constructively respond to stresses endemic in the health care environment and has been shown to reduce the prevalence of burnout.
