Per the notice below, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has issued a guide for hospitals on creating a safe and supportive workplace for health care workers.

NIOSH’s Impact Wellbeing™ Guide for Hospital Leaders Hospital leaders want to create a safe and supportive workplace where their workforce can thrive.  However, they often face challenges in figuring out how to get started or expand their current efforts.  To help leaders improve professional wellbeing at their hospital, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) developed a guide. The Impact Wellbeing™ Guide: Taking Action to Improve Healthcare Worker Wellbeing provides the necessary background and tools.  It helps hospital leaders and executives supplement or accelerate their work on professional wellbeing at the operational level. Created in partnership with the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, the Guide builds upon existing research and resources from organizations who have made strides to address healthcare worker burnout.  It also draws on NIOSH’s 50 years of occupational safety and health expertise.  Most importantly, the Guide was real-world tested in six hospitals across the United States.  The Guide includes six evidence-informed Actions with useful background information and tools to fully equip leaders to make improvements.  The final Action is a long-term wellbeing plan to sustain efforts. Access the Impact Wellbeing Guide today to make purposeful operational changes for a healthy workforce and hospital.  Evidence-Informed.  Actionable.
