The year 2021 presents a unique challenge- healthcare leaders find themselves with more technical tools with which to reach, treat, and analyze patients at the same time as providers and patients are exhausted, demoralized, and facing unprecedented adversity. A year into the COVID-19 pandemic, over 500,000 Americans have died from the virus and we face amplified disparities in severity, deaths, and vaccine rollout. Many healthcare leaders fear that the response to the pandemic has led to a widening gap in preventive and primary care for other conditions and that soon, we will see the consequences of this gap in higher morbidity and mortality due to preventable conditions. Further, they worry that an overstressed and exhausted workforce will not be prepared to handle it. It is clear that in the face of many challenges, leadership intention is not necessarily matching actionable steps to reduce burnout and overwork. The same is true for disparities exposed and exacerbated by the pandemic. Looking ahead, we’ll talk “No BS” answers to what steps leaders can and should take to better care for their communities and employees.
