Well-Being: Addressing burnout using data-driven decision-making

Thursday, June 8, 2023 | 6 - 7:30 p.m. CT | Jennifer L. Bickel
Professional well-being is so important in healthcare, but with so many different strategies and initiatives aimed at reducing burnout and improving wellness, it can be hard to know where to invest for the greatest return. While the focus has mainly been on clinicians, healthcare leaders across the spectrum are facing increasing rates of stress and burnout, causing many to leave the profession. Decisions around how to best support their teams during ongoing crises and workforce shortages can be a significant challenge, causing what experts refer to as “moral distress.” These decisions have only intensified over the last few years, and there is an imminent need to implement evidence-based strategies to make a positive impact.

Join this dynamic session to learn from two leading experts in the fields of wellness and ethics about the best tools and expert models that can help you make the financial and operational case to support professional well-being and reduce moral distress. You will learn more about how effective healthcare well-being models go beyond individual emotional support to truly optimize the organization’s ability to foster practice and culture change. You will also explore decision-making frameworks for moving beyond moral distress to create workplaces where everyone can thrive.

Seminar Objectives:

• Describe evidence-based models and expert recommendations beyond traditional human resource offerings for improving professional well-being
• Identify how healthcare leaders from all areas can influence their surroundings to improve professional well-being
• Apply an ethical decision-making framework to a variety of scenarios centered around reducing moral distress and improving well-being

Who Should Attend:
C-Suite executives, senior-level decision makers, and clinical leaders

Presented By:
Jason Lesandrini, FACHE, Founder/CEO, The Ethics Architect/AVP Ethics, Advanced Care Planning & Spiritual Health, Wellstar Health System
Jennifer Bickel, MD, Chief Wellness Officer, Moffitt Cancer Center

Resilient Leadership: The Role of Well-Being in Individual and Organizational Performance

Thursday, June 15, 2023 | 6 - 7:30 p.m. CT | Presented by Laurie Baedke
When adversity or crisis strikes, the exposure to us as individual leaders, and to our organizations and the communities we serve is high. Health care is replete with disruption, and specific challenges occasionally arise that stress our processes and systems even more than usual. When we experience disruption, our innate individual and organizational tendency is to “return to normal.” But progressive, high-performing organizations leverage disruption for growth and progress.

Resilience is defined in several unique ways. In some models, it is viewed as the ability to rebound from unexpected, stressful, or adverse situations and to pick up where one left off. In others, the perspective includes restoration plus the development of new capabilities, expanded abilities and the creation of new opportunities. Either way, it is a vital characteristic of effective executives and reliable organizations. Resilience doesn’t ensure that negative circumstances won’t occur, but it does proactively prepare you to more successfully traverse the storm, both individually and organizationally.

Just as individuals can learn to develop traits of resilience, organizations can develop a culture of resilience. An investment in this form of “psychological immunity,” or ability to rebound from the untoward effects of adversity, is key to not only surviving such events but also ensuring sustained high-level performance.

Learning Objectives:

• Acquire tools and resources to increase your resilience, adaptability and leadership response in times of stress, adversity and change
• Develop an action plan to apply learnings in order to achieve meaningful performance outcomes, both individually and organizationally

Who Should Participate:

• Health care executives at all levels
