Building Stronger Support Systems: Collaborative Efforts to Address Moral Distress and Burnout Among Healthcare Providers

Abstract

Much has been written about the well-being of healthcare employees; the COVID-19 pandemic brought these issues into acute focus. Literature supports that partnerships among professional organizations, healthcare systems, governments, and universities can enhance healthcare worker and trainee well-being and retention. The author continues to follow the progress of a healthcare system dealing with the stress, guilt, grief, and burnout stemming from effects of a pandemic. This article discusses participation in two national initiatives that foster clinician resilience and well-being.
