The future of healthcare depends on providers caring for their workers
Caring for our aging population is one of the most pressing issues today. Combined with skilled labour shortages and technology disruption, the healthcare industry is up against critical challenges – and healthcare workers are the ones shouldering the burden.
While rapid advances in technology have improved healthcare access and quality, they’ve also created a gap between the skills providers need and those available in the talent pool. This has created both a competitive labor market and mounting pressure on workers to learn new systems and tools fast. Patient expectations are also increasing – as is the rate of healthcare worker burnout. According to Accenture, physician burnout costs the US health system $32 billion each year.
The bottom line? Best-in-class care happens when those who do the caring are at their best. It’s up to organizations to support the well-being and development of their workers.
