Tools for Building a Clinician and Staff Support Program
Clinician support has been a cornerstone of the MITSS mission since our inception in 2002. Over the past couple of years, we have witnessed more and more organizations around the country recognizing the importance of supporting their clinicians and staff following adverse events. As this cultural shift is happening, healthcare organizations are asking us “how” to do a better job at supporting their clinicians and are looking for concrete tools and resources to assist them.
MITSS assembled a group of prominent healthcare leaders, researchers, and clinicians who are already doing some of this work in their own institutions. Together, we have developed a toolkit for organizations to use regardless of where they are on the spectrum – from those in the early stages of looking at different support models to those who may already have programs in place.
Along with the toolkit (see below), we have developed a one page Organizational Assessment Tool for Clinician Support. This document is designed to give your organization a snapshot of where you are currently in the process.
Additionally, Susan Scott from the forYOU Team at the UMissouri Health System has developed a Comprehensive Work Plan for Organizations further along in the clinician support process. This detailed Work Plan can be accessed here. For the one page Checklist to be used in conjunction with the Work Plan, click here.
It is our intention that this toolkit will be an evolving document – we invite your comments, suggestions, and additional resources. We will be updating the toolkit with the latest data and tools that are available from our extensive network. We hope that you will find it useful and encourage you to join in our effort.
