ALPHARETTA, Ga., June 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Released today, a new comprehensive survey by Holon Solutions, the leading human-centric healthcare technology company, offers a compelling look into the pressing issues faced by healthcare leaders and workers. A follow-up to an earlier study by Holon, this latest study surveying healthcare leadership sought to understand their perspectives on staff burnout in order to capture a holistic view of well-being in the industry.
Leaders and Workers Alike Stung by Burnout
The results reveal alarming levels of burnout – as a majority (79% of healthcare leaders and 77% of workers) have experienced burnout in the last year. In fact, 62% of healthcare workers and 52% of leaders have considered leaving their current positions or even the industry itself. The research emphasizes a clear need for strategies to combat burnout and improve employee retention in the aftermath of staffing shortages and a burnout crisis catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Healthcare Leaders’ Top Priority is Addressing Staff Burnout
In a bid to alleviate burnout, 49% of leaders have offered more benefits, 42% increased wages, and 41% have already hired more staff this year, with plans to continue staff hiring in the near future. While healthcare leaders are prioritizing efforts to address burnout, with 77% considering it a high or top priority, a significant proportion of healthcare workers (35%) feel that these efforts are inadequate. It’s important that leaders understand the changes workers actually want in order to better retain their talent and show up in the ways that matter.
Leaders Unclear on True Causes of Worker Burnout
There is a noteworthy disconnect between healthcare leaders and workers in identifying the primary cause of burnout. While leaders presume that insufficient time with patients is the primary stressor, workers pinpoint admin work as their principal cause of burnout. With 72% of healthcare workers expressing high interest in technology that can help reduce administrative tasks, there is a clear opportunity for technology to help address this issue.
Leaders See AI as Potential Future Solution
Additionally, the report illustrates that artificial intelligence (AI) is being widely accepted by healthcare leaders. Nearly half (47%) of leaders are already utilizing AI, while a similar percentage plans to adopt AI technologies within the next year. Interestingly, the majority of healthcare leaders (70%) see the potential of generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, in improving care delivery.
“Our survey data shows a complex landscape within healthcare that needs multi-faceted solutions now,” said Jon Zimmerman, CEO of Holon. “We hope these findings will drive a more empathetic and personalized approach to handling healthcare workers’ burnout through the strategic adoption of assistive technology in healthcare.”
