Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience

Clinician well-being is essential for safe, high-quality patient care.

The Clinician Well-Being Collaborative is a network of leaders and representatives of many major health professional organizations and health systems across the United States. Since 2017, the Collaborative has convened, published, and shaped the national conversation to advance three goals:

  1. Raise the visibility of clinician anxiety, burnout, depression, stress, and suicide
  2. Improve baseline understanding of challenges to clinician well-being
  3. Advance evidence-based, multidisciplinary solutions to improve patient care by caring for the caregiver

March Opportunities for Action

In March, Patient Safety Awareness Week and Health Workforce Well-Being (HWWB) Day highlight the link between workforce well-being and high-quality care. Supporting health workers and partnering with patients are both essential to safer outcomes.
