Burnout in Healthcare

A Guide to Addressing the Epidemic

By: Rajeev Kurapati

Narrated by: Braden Wright

A must-listen for every medical professional, healthcare consumer, and patient advocate. Burnout among medical professionals has reached epidemic proportions. Much of this distress can be attributed to the pile-on of duties and responsibilities healthcare workers face, including an increasing workload, complex quality measures, and expanding policy stipulations - on top of providing quality patient care. At the same time, these growing tasks are coupled with staff shortages and waning organizational support. It's hardly a surprise that the rates of depression and suicide continue to increase among exhausted medical professionals. Burnout is not only harmful to overworked, unsupported healthcare professionals, it also puts patients at risk.

In this book, award-winning author and hospital physician Rajeev Kurapati offers a guide to recognizing burnout, as well as providing practical, actionable techniques for developing resilience at both the individual and organizational levels. Based on the latest evidence-based research, these steps will help practitioners regain joy and gain freedom from burnout.

To the point

It is a good book-truthfully nothing new.. ultimately the solution is indeed at an organisational level and a personal level
Most of us are trapped in our careers and are too scared to make the necessary changes.. so we moan and sink deeper,cos there are bills to pay and expectations of self and others wearing us down.
