"Throughout the pandemic, we’ve heard much about health-care worker burnout.
But what we haven’t heard much about is its effects on patients.
Even before the pandemic, health workers were grappling with long hours, high
workplace demands, staff shortages, and limited resources. The culture of
health-care values selfless dedication and around-the-clock availability, yet
this risks both health-care workers’ health and the quality and safety of
patient care. The pre-existing cracks in the system have widened during the
pandemic.
Our survey of more than 9,000 health-care workers during 2020 found 71%
experienced moderate to severe burnout. And the workforce continues to
experience the pressures of the pandemic."
