Resiliency Demands Flexibility<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a health and safety motivational speaker<\/a> with a strong focus on healthcare, I deeply feel for the unsung heroes who brought us through the pandemic. However, though the outside world sees the risks in healthcare as being \u201cover,\u201d nothing could be further from the truth. Stress is at an all-time high.<\/p>\n

The Crunch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Healthcare professionals are leaving the industry in record numbers. According to the Hospital Careers website (February 2022):<\/p>\n

\u201c1 in 5 healthcare workers have either quit their jobs or left medicine since the pandemic began\u2026this amounts to more than 500,000 workers across the industry in total\u2026around 18% of workers have chosen to leave their positions, while a further 12% have left due to lay-offs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps the outside world might think, \u201cNow that COVID is \u2018over\u2019 everyone is returning.\u201d Wrong.<\/p>\n

There is a staffing and bed crunch unlike any that have been seen before. Obviously, given staffing shortages and this \u201cbed crunch,\u201d safety concerns are at an all-time high. Every healthcare professional from nurses and physicians to risk assessment people are wondering how they can be proactive to prevent tragedies from occurring.<\/p>\n

No one is doubting that tremendous innovations are coming onto the healthcare scene however, patient safety issues ranging from improper medications to horrific surgical mistakes are absolutely heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

Mitigating risk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mistakes occur, and as a health and safety motivational speaker I understand the frustrations; changing policies and procedures in any kind of patient care setting is the same as trying to turn a battleship in a lake.<\/p>\n

Those who try to be healthcare disrupters (though I dislike that label when placed on well-meaning people) are often told \u201cthat\u2019s impossible,\u201d or \u201ckeep dreaming\u201d when they advance a perfectly logical idea on fixing a problem. No wonder there is increasing burnout.<\/p>\n

What has happened to resiliency? Why has an entire system become so stubborn to change that it no longer listens or supports or remotely considers an idea that could save lives? Paradoxically, this system has the potential to be the greatest in the world if it could develop the flexibility to adapt to its challenges. Why won\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

The greatest strength<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2022, the greatest strength healthcare possesses isn\u2019t<\/em> a new medication or diagnostic tool, it is the team. The faith in one another is what will see the profession through its challenges.<\/p>\n

However, the determination to create a new mindset, a new way of seeing things, must be in the willingness of one another to be flexible to change<\/em>. The flexibility can only come about if step-by-step, healthcare teams show as much compassion for one another as for their patients. Given the huge turnover, the mindset has obviously been lagging.<\/p>\n

It will take a greater vision for the future and the determination that everyone on the team \u2013 and their patients, must be safe in mind and body. This won\u2019t happen by accident, but by conviction.<\/p>\n

Change is overwhelming if it is seen as overwhelming. Change is manageable, if the team sees it in terms of small steps that can be accomplished.<\/p>\n

Which will you choose?<\/p>\n
