Clinical staff in healthcare environments, and nurses in particular, have long been required to care for patients at the expense of their own well-being. Post-pandemic, they continually demonstrate that they are overwhelmed, experience emotional exhaustion and burn out, and report depersonalization and perceptions of lack of personal accomplishment.

This webinar reviews research that reveals the circumstances leading to this current staffing predicament. Three design professionals with clinical backgrounds will leverage their collective expertise to share insights into clinical workforce issues and will offer design strategies to support clinician respite and resilience. 

Additionally, they’ll shed light on the unique needs of the different generational cohorts in the current clinical workforce, and how some design strategies should be targeted while others should be universal. Practical applications and determining return-on-investment for these types of design interventions will be shared.

 

 

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the various generational cohorts that exist within the current clinical/nursing profession and their unique characteristics. 
  • Understand the diverse generational cohort needs in the healthcare workforce and their implications for design interventions. 
  • Discuss the important role of clinician well-being in the delivery of safe and quality healthcare.
  • Describe ways organizations can use design interventions to navigate workforce challenges.

Terri Zborowsky, PhD, RN, EDAC, CPXP

Terri Zborowsky is a nurse and design researcher at HGA, multidisciplinary design firm rooted in architecture and engineering. From where she sits, she believes post pandemic, we will never look at staff spaces the same again. On issues ranging from keeping staff safe from workplace injuries (and even death in the case of COVID-19 infection), to staff respite and break areas, the voice of frontline staff will now, and forever be, at the table, helping to make design decisions. 

 

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
