Correcting Our Course: Lessons from the Trenches About Advancing Wellbeing

Wayne M. Sotile, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Founder, Center for Physician Resilience

Sotile

“It is time to end the conspiracy of silence.” This call to address psychosocial distress in health professionals was issued more than 30 years ago. Since then, we have progressed through the stages of change, moving from denial to action. Yet, vital course corrections remain to be done. Join clinical psychologist, Wayne Sotile, as he shares insights borne of his 40+ years of experience working with health professionals, as a therapist, leadership coach, and organizational consultant. Wayne will highlight what we’ve gotten right, where we have erred and over-corrected, and how we can move forward with renewed energy and purpose.

  • Discuss the stage of change as applied to workforce wellbeing efforts
  • Discuss the mythical balanced life, burnout hysteria, and “write ‘em up!” as examples of “right concept; wrong application” efforts to shape a well healthcare workforce
  • List at least three practical strategies for advancing and solidifying well-being, at home and at work

9:50 AM – 10:30 AM
Reorienting the U.S. Healthcare System Around Relationships to Achieve the Quadruple Aim

Christine A. Sinsky, MD, VP, Professional Satisfaction, American Medical Association

Sinsky

Over the past several decades, healthcare has increasingly been conceptualized as a series of independent transactions that can be distributed nearly randomly among healthcare workers: The resulting fragmentation of care is ubiquitous and has been at odds with the fundamental relational nature of medical care.

How would healthcare differ if the infrastructures, policies and technologies upon which care delivery is based were reoriented to prioritize relationships at every level? In this presentation, drawing from the commentary, Radical Reorientation of the US Health Care System Around Relationships, wherein 3 foundational recommendations are presented: 1. Structurally prioritize continuity of relationships, 2. Make room for relationships by removing sludge from the system, and 3. Realign reimbursement and research to prioritize relationships. Implementation tactics are provided to guide organizational leaders, policy makers, technology vendors and other stakeholders. After the session, you will be able to:

  • Describe one consequence of a transactional conceptualization of healthcare
  • Identify at least 2 tactical approaches to prioritize relationships within the physical structure, team structure, scheduling approach and/or technology within a work unit
  • Plan to bring home at least 1 change to remove sludge from the daily work of clinicians in your unit
  • Become inspired about the possibilities of reclaiming the joy in medicine

11:00 AM – 11:45 AM

How AI Will Influence Burnout and Culture in the Modern Workplace

Joshua Proulx

Proulx

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into the modern workforce, leaders and staff face an uncertain future. While a global impact brought with it increased competition for staff, inflationary pressures to drive up wages, and cultural changes such as quiet quitting, AI holds the potential to alleviate some of these pressures by automating tasks, acting as a virtual assistant, and in some cases completely taking over roles. Many employees harbor fears that the rise of AI technology could lead to job displacement, creating uncertainty about their future employment and career stability. The time-consuming benefits of AI could reduce workforce burnout while simultaneously increasing it due to fears of workforce reduction. What will the modern workforce culture look like in the coming AI age when AI becomes our assistant, our co-worker, our replacement, and maybe even our manager? In this session, you will:

  • Gain better insight into the capabilities of AI in the modern workforce
  • Understand the potential impacts AI will have on workforce culture and burnout levels
  • Learn about workforce cultural implications as AI agents become co-workers and even managers

How Do YOU Feel?: Recognizing Burnout In Ourselves, While Treating Others For It

Jessi Gold, MD, MS, Chief Wellness Officer, University of Tennessee System; Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Tennessee Health Science Center

Gold

In this session, Dr. Jessi Gold walks through her own personal journey with burnout as a practicing psychiatrist, assistant professor, and wellness leader. During the pandemic, Dr. Gold “wrote off” what she was experiencing as a medical condition or “just how I should feel working this hard,” and medical culture (perfectionism, for one thing) contributed to those thoughts. Further, Dr. Gold will discuss her own self-stigma, and how, ironically, she needed to seek outside help to discover that she was experiencing burnout. She’ll explore how she now copes and deals with burnout, including simply admitting that the job will always have an effect on you. This session aims to:

  • Describe one story of burnout and self-stigma
  • Identify aspects of medical culture that serve as barriers to help seeking
  • Explain ways to minimize the impact of burnout, including social support and vulnerability

10:50 AM – 11:45 AM
Bite-sized Well-being During Uncertain Times: Evidence, Practice, and Resources to Share

Bryan Sexton, PhD, Director, Duke Center for the Advancement of Well-being Science

This session will review evidence published in top-tier journals that both validates and normalizes the emotional exhaustion of healthcare professionals. The evidence suggests that, as much as the pandemic was associated with an increase in burnout, we now know through RCTs that bite-sized well-being interventions can cause well-being to improve in the same magnitude. We’ll examine the science behind the interventions to improve well-being, as well as the prevalence and severity of well-being deficits, to inform, comfort, and inspire a weary workforce. After this session, you will be able to:

  • Understand the patterns of well-being over the past several years.
  • Review and evaluate bite-sized resources and interventions that improve well-being.
  • Learn how bite-sized interventions use positive emotions to improve well-being.
