The mental health crisis for healthcare workers isn’t going away. In fact, it’s growing. A recent study from American Hospital Association found that 93% of health care workers reported stress, 86% reported anxiety, 77% reported frustration, 76% reported exhaustion and burnout, and 75% said they were overwhelmed. Without a support system, employees are left to manage their mental health on their own. For some, they never manage their mental health at all.

Healthcare systems in particular need to be ready to welcome a new generation of medical staff and care for a new generation of patients—ones that come with expectations, needs, and skillsets that will impact the way healthcare systems operate.

With May honoring Mental Health Awareness, there is no better time to bring attention to burnout and put measures into place to help combat this workplace problem. Physician burnout has emerged as a critical issue within the healthcare sector, markedly impacting both the well-being of doctors and the quality of patient care.
