This book highlights the disparity between the growing number of women entering medical school and their underrepresentation in leadership roles within Critical Care and perioperative medicine. Despite numerous reviews and reports on gender and minority gaps, few resources offer practical solutions. Improving the working environment is essential.
The book focuses on practical examples and tools that can be easily adopted by readers. It addresses the well-being of practitioners and the safety, outcomes, and patient-centered care for patients. Post-pandemic data show significant burnout in Critical Care and anaesthesia, disproportionately affecting women and minorities, with long-term consequences for the workforce and care quality.
The Triple Aim-enhancing patient experience, improving population health, and reducing costs-is a framework for optimizing healthcare performance. Burnout, however, is linked to lower patient satisfaction, poorer health outcomes, and increased costs. This has led to the Quadruple Aim, which includes improving the well-being of healthcare providers. Preventing burnout is vital for maintaining productivity and care quality.
Enhancing research and professional well-being in Critical Care and anaesthesia directly improves patient care quality. Patient-centered care is a core objective. Improving the working environment, preventing burnout, enabling professionals to achieve their goals, and addressing diversity are key to improving outcomes and care quality.
This book provides a practical approach to improving team well-being, outcomes, safety, and patient satisfaction in high-risk healthcare environments. It offers relevant information and highlights areas for improvement in Critical Care and perioperative settings, helping healthcare professionals achieve their goals.
