Staffing challenges post-pandemic are driven by a number of factors, but one of the most significant is turnover due to burnout. And diving deeper, a primary driver for burnout is isolation. How is your team ensuring that your clinicians feel a sense of community with your practice?Today’s hospitals and medical practices can promote a sense of collaboration between their physicians, administrators, and staff through the help of technology. Without the help of technology, even the process of scheduling physicians can become chaotic and disjointed, requiring multiple emails from multiple people and many delays, leaving physicians even more frustrated. Hospital administrators and medical directors also have little time for what is called “incremental communication,” taking care of little issues that may arise throughout the day that makes the operations of the organization run much more smoothly. Despite that it can get put on the back burner, collaboration and connectivity are integral to a thriving healthcare organization that keeps physicians engaged.
