Background

Change Maker Accelerators commit to tracking implementation of the National Plan for Health Workforce Well-Being at their institutions. The NAM will work directly with the selected group to facilitate and measure progress across the National Plan’s priority areas and build a community of practice. The Collaborative intends to spotlight the work of these organizations to inspire others to operationalize the National Plan and accelerate collective efforts toward well-being.

Accelerator Requirements

To be eligible to apply to be an Accelerator, the following qualifications must be met:

• The organization must be engaged in or planning to engage in work that promotes health worker well-being at the system/organizational level. Organizations may have various well-being program structures, but applicants typically hold a leadership position (e.g., director of well-being) and/or are responsible for advancing well-being for a constituency (e.g., physicians, students, faculty, all employees, etc.)  
• Applicants should explore the National Plan for Health Workforce Well-Being and consider how their organizations can commit to institutionalizing well-being as a long-term value and other priority areas.
• Applicants must have the capacity and institutional support to provide data on a quarterly basis that tracks their organization’s well-being activities toward improving outcomes (e.g., burnout, engagement, culture).  
• Applicants must be able to speak on behalf of their organizations to share insights on strategic planning during closed coaching meetings, as well as to represent their organization’s progress at public convenings.
