Focusing on well-being is essential to maintaining a sustainable hospital medicine group and creating a supportive and resilient team. SHM encourages groups to take a holistic approach to wellbeing, offering resources designed for hospital leaders who seek to build a culture that fosters a collaborative environment, promotes wellbeing, and ultimately engages hospitalists as valuable members of the team.
Stigma and concerns relating to the loss of medical license or other practice privileges can create a barrier to seeking mental health treatment. This toolkit provides easy to follow steps and scripts to advocate for change where these barriers exist.
This toolkit provides hospitalists with the tools to advance well-being at their institution, regardless of their position or role by giving them actions to become a Well-being Advocate. A Hospitalist Well-being Advocate is ANY hospitalist who is curious to understand the essence of building a pro-wellness organization, empathetic towards others, and courageous to take initiative and inspire change.
Recorded in November 2022, this webinar introduces the Toolkit and its expected benefits.
Recorded in February 2023, this webinar is an extended conversation about how to address structures, policies, processes, culture, and leadership practices that affect hospitalist well-being. Panelists discuss specific approaches to apply SHM's Well-being Toolkit and how to overcome barriers and impediments to addressing root causes of burnout in hospital medicine.
This printable poster is a tool for hospitalists to have open and honest conversations that break the culture of silence around wellbeing, burnout, and mental health. It provides prompts to begin conversations and enables groups to share local resources their teams can use to seek help.
SHM’s Practice Management Committee identified 7 drivers of burnout that are specific to hospital medicine. Use these drivers and discussion questions to evaluate your practice, initiate conversation within your group, and make progressive changes to address structural issues that lead to burnout.
Developed by SHM in collaboration with the American Medical Association (AMA) and American College of Physicians (ACP), the STEPS Forward™ Initiative walks participants through a 5-step process that describes strategies to increase hospitalists’ sense of autonomy and well-being and identifies opportunities for them to develop mastery and a sense of purpose.
