Hospitalist Shared Leadership for Safety, Health, and Well-Being at Work: United States, 2022‒2023

Am J Public Health. 2024 Feb;114(S2):162-166. doi: 10.2105/AJPH.2024.307573.

Abstract

We assessed how hospitalists frame workplace safety, health, and well-being (SHW); their perception of hospital supports for SHW; and whether and how they are sharing leadership responsibility for each other's SHW. Our findings highlight the important role of local support for hospitalist SHW and reveal the systemic, hospital-wide problems that may impede their SHW. We believe that positioning hospitalists as leaders for SHW will result in systems-wide changes in practices to support the SHW of all care team members.
