President's Message


Happy Summer! 


It was great to see many of you at Congress which seems forever ago already. As you take time to refresh this summer with family and friends, I also want to encourage you to start developing our ACHE-MO network by joining and generating discussions within our MO-ACHE LinkedIn group, https://www.linkedin.com/groups/3866626/. We want to develop a robust Missouri community and network – this is a great way to keep connected and learn and grow together.


The local programming committees continue to work hard to set up education events across the state – keep an eye out for Save the Date emails or you can always check our MO-ACHE Website Events page, https://mo-ache.ache.org/events/.


Thank you for all you do to improve healthcare across the state.


Stay cool this summer!


Best,


Matt Clausen

Sustainable Strategies to Support Resiliency

and Professional Well-being for

Healthcare Professionals  

Adverse patient events have been attributed to healthcare staff who have experienced difficulty sleeping, reduced job satisfaction, impaired behavior, and anxiety.  These attributes contribute to more serious consequences such as burnout, depression, post-traumatic disorder, and suicidal ideation. The suicide rate for physicians is higher than that for any other profession, in part because of the stress of medical school, the risk for malpractice, sleep deprivation, and challenges with work/life balance. Healthcare leaders often struggle with finding long-term solutions to address an important but personal issue for their staff and organization. During this panel, participants will learn sustainable strategies and approaches that will address well-being and resiliency for healthcare professionals in today’s healthcare environment. Even when leaders recognize this as a problem, they are often presented with confusing information or get-better-quick solutions that bring no lasting change and can sometimes increase cynicism among employees. During this panel, participants will learn the importance of sustaining well-being for healthcare professionals in today’s healthcare environment.
