Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.

The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.

Nurses need know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes. To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), with additional funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has prepared this comprehensive, 1,400-page, handbook for nurses on patient safety and quality -- Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses.

Burnout among nurses is not a new concept; however it is a complex one. Not only does burnout pose risks to nursing staff but it is a huge patient safety concern. Nurses are charged with judiciously caring for their patients and when they are burnout out, it makes it hard to do. The things that attribute to nurse burnout and possible solutions to help alleviate it will be explored and discussed. Nurses that work in hospital in patient settings will be evaluated in this case. Research has shown that burnout causes not takes an emotional toll as well a physical one on nurses. One area of concern related to burnout among nurses is staffing ratios. Staffing ratios play a big role in nursing satisfaction and burnout. A major contributing factor to nurse burnout is high patient ratios. A solution to rectify that is proposed mandatory nurse to patient ratios. To implement changes, data regarding nurse's satisfaction and burnout would need to be collected. This data along with patient safety and satisfaction data before and after a trial of increased staffing ratios would need to be presented as well. Once concrete data was gathered it would be presented to hospital administration for approval to implement change in the hospital. Once the hospital administration was on board, collaboration with other area hospitals could begin. Having the state chapter of the American Nurses Association involved in lobbying for change would speak volumes when presented to the state board. When area hospitals were on board the data regarding nurse's satisfaction as well as patient safety data and patient satisfaction could be presented to the state board of nursing. The state board of nursing could collaborate with other states and lobby for change at a national level.

Building on the revolutionary Institute of Medicine reports To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Keeping Patients Safe lays out guidelines for improving patient safety by changing nurses' working conditions and demands. Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform â€" monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis â€" provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care â€" and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety.

Based on the research and previous studies, it was determined that the ultimate cause of burnout among nurses is stress. There are several causes of stress that were studied and applicable throughout various hospital and clinical settings. Burnout was first identified by an American psychologist in the 1970s and it was defined as endless exhaustion from the inability to cope with certain tasks. Many groups of people are at risk for stress-induced burnout, but it is greatly affecting the nursing field as a whole in so many levels. Much research and statistics has pointed to the increase in hospital shortage and lower nurse retention in relation to the burdens of work and high levels of burnout. Research has pointed to a few suggestions in order to find a solution. One of the most popular forms of studies includes questionnaires to get the nurses' opinions. These pre and post survey screenings helped get a better understanding of the participants in the studies. By introducing stress management courses in the hospitals and clinics and rating these courses, a better understanding of nurses can be obtained.
