As we all know, burnout among nurse leaders is a public health crisis. The challenges of providing care during COVID-19 have made things more challenging for nurses and the healthcare workforce. Medical professionals face a shortage of PPE, an increased risk of disease transmission, a steady stream of ICU patients, and increased isolation from loved ones. The Healthcare Burnout Symposium, to be held as part of the ICD Healthcare Event Series, will discuss the factors that contribute to burnout and discuss how healthcare leaders and frontline workers can help their organizations address these critical issues. Learn more about the symposium, scheduled for January 24-26, 2022, by visiting the website here. |
