US healthcare is a sixth of our national economy comprised of nearly 15 million people, and its workforce is faltering. Workers are experiencing burnout and moral injury at an alarming rate, and the federal government is taking notice.
How did we get here? What went wrong? And why does the government care? Dr. Wendy Dean explores the drivers and consequences of burnout and moral injury with Corey Feist, CEO and Co-Founder of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, and Dr. Candice Chen, co-lead of the Workplace Change Collaborative.
The Workplace Change Collaborative is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration. The contents are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of, nor an endorsement by HRSA, HHS or the U.S. Government.
