Penn Medicine’s Multifaceted Approach to Workplace Wellness and to Supporting Physicians and Reducing Physician Burnout

Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health. To date, more than 300 Princeton Health physicians and employees have used Penn COBALT. Early in the pandemic, the Medical Staff Executive Committee began periodically using the Mayo Clinic Well-Being Index to help uncover the risk of distress and burnout among the medical staff, which comprises more than 1,370 physicians. The Well-Being Index is an online, validated self-assessment tool invented by the Mayo Clinic that measures six dimensions of distress and well-being in just nine questions.  In addition to the use of the Well-Being Index and the changes implemented in response to the periodic surveys, Princeton Health also promotes and encourages the use of Penn COBALT, a digital platform launched by Penn Medicine to give physicians and other employees access to mental health and wellness content, including the Mind on Mental Health podcast.  In this session, Dr. Gronczewski will discuss the why, the what, the how, and what’s next for these programs. Shereese Maynard, MS, MBA, Co-Owner, HIT Like A Girl PodCraig Gronczewski, MD,  Chief Medical Officer, Penn Medicine Princeton Health Subscribe to Digital Health Talks on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.Learn more about HealthIMPACT Live events, virtual forums, and healthcare leader conversations at healthimpactlive.com.Interested in being a guest, sponsoring, or joining the HealthIMPACT community?
