Longo BA, Schmaltz SP, Williams SC, et al. Clinician well-being assessment and interventions in Joint Commission-accredited hospitals and federally qualified health centers. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2023;49(10):511-520. doi:10.1016/j.jcjq.2023.04.007.
Supporting and improving clinician well-being has long been a safety focus and received renewed focus during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study sought to understand efforts undertaken to support clinicians’ well-being in Joint Commission-accredited hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC). Only half of responding hospitals and FQHCs reported implementing at least one action towards improving clinician well-being (e.g., establishing a wellness committee) and few had implemented a comprehensive approach.
