Breakout Sessions

Reducing Physician Burnout through Lean Transformation
Paul DeChant, MD, MBA

Is your organizational culture contributing to burnout? Do you know what you can do as a leader to help address issues of burnout? As a nationally recognized speaker and author, Dr. DeChant will share with participants how leaders and healthcare providers can undertake and address personal resilience, organizational culture, and practice efficiency to reduce the risk of burnout and enhance professional fulfillment.

Identification, A Deeper Dive
Tammy Rogers

Research suggests: Burnout levels among healthcare professionals are at a critical levels. The causes of professional fatigue are the same (bureaucratic tasks, working too many hours and the computerizing of the practice), but the impact is higher. Burnout is linked to patient bias. Female physicians are more stressed out then their male counterparts.  In fact the latest Mayo Clinic study shows that more than 50 percent of all US physicians are suffering from at least one symptom of burnout.  Participants will discover burnout interventions to keep them from ending up on the wrong side of the statistics.

Improving Resilience: Do You Need Anything Else?
Vidya Kollu, MD

When you are focused on managing the stress of relentless change it is easy to lose sight of the joy, meaning and purpose of your profession. Taking small steps devoted to improving your own resiliency will help you have a longer, more satisfying career and reduce your risk of burnout. Improving your personal resiliency may also have a positive impact on your team, your family, and all the patients with whom you interact.

Making Sense of Generational Commonalities and Differences
Michael Wood

There’s no doubt that America is changing—a combination of shifting demographics, consumer needs and expectations. At the core of creating and maintaining a healthy work environment is a critical understanding of each generation’s inherent values and attitudes. Sharing insights from the pioneering new study--Generation Nation—this session will provide much-needed generational insight, clarity, and a revealing look at what is really on the minds of Gen Z, Millennials, Generation X and Boomers. Learn what organizations must do to create an environment that fosters collaboration and helps minimize stress and frustration. Attendees will walk away with a deeper, richer sense of each generation and the issues that are most important to them.  These findings are guaranteed to inform, immerse, and inspire!

Stress and Resilience on the Front Lines
Ryan Bayley, MD, CPC

In this session, Dr. Bayley will discuss the science behind our experience of stress in caring for the critically ill and injured. Drawing upon recent insights in neuroscience and cognitive behavioral therapy, he will explore how we are hard wired to experience stress, how this drives us towards burnout, and understanding this may improve our experience of our work.
