The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) Impact Wellbeing™ campaign gives hospital leaders evidence-informed solutions to reduce healthcare worker burnout, sustain wellbeing, and build a system where healthcare workers thrive. Although some causes of burnout may take time to address, there are many feasible ways to champion a healthy workforce and hospital system. Hospital leaders can use the campaign tools to improve healthcare worker wellbeing by:

  • Understanding how their workforce is doing and identifying ways to improve healthcare worker wellbeing at their hospital
  • Using the Toolkit from the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation to help remove intrusive mental health questions from their hospital's credentialing applications
  • Explore NIOSH's Fundamentals of Total Worker Health to improve the safety health and wellbeing of their workforce
