Clinician safety is essential for patient safety. The purpose of the 2021 Stoelting Conference is to identify feasible approaches to improve perioperative clinician wellbeing. We will convene a multidisciplinary group of experts and stakeholders to share the current evidence base and discuss the most important mutable factors influencing perioperative clinician burnout and degraded wellbeing. Then, we will explore existing and potential interventions to enhance clinician safety and wellbeing. The conference will lay the groundwork for a clear and accountable strategy to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our perioperative clinician workforce.
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this meeting the participant will be able to:
- Identify the importance of clinician wellbeing in relation to patient safety issues.
- Evaluate the impact of clinician burnout as it relates to patient care.
- Define and discuss burnout, professional wellbeing and resilience as it may relate to patient safety
- Describe a systems level approach to clinician wellbeing
