From the desk of the CEO: The business case for physician well-being


This webinar is on-demand and can be viewed at your convenience.

Health systems are pursuing growth targets with an exhausted clinical workforce. Leaders from Jefferson Health, Henry Ford Health and Rush will make the executive case for physician well-being — not as a perk, but as a lever for retention, access and financial performance.

This discussion moves beyond slogans. Panelists detail how they embedded well-being into organizational DNA with clear accountability, resourced programs and operational changes that reduce friction. Topics include peer support models, onboarding redesign, protected time and ambient listening tools to curb after-hours charting.

Learnings include:
 
  • The CEO's script for tying physician well-being to margin, growth and patient loyalty
  • Examples from Jefferson Health, Henry Ford and Rush that reduced burden and turnover risk
  • How to set governance, goals and metrics so well-being endures beyond a fiscal cycle
