Exhausted and overwhelmed, clinicians are reaching a breaking point as the COVID-19 pandemic enters yet another phase. Physicians have less autonomy, while suffering in unsupported environments. Technology developed to improve treatments, remote communication, and clinical data collection have become additional burdens to bear. Dr. Vivian Pender, President of the APA, Dr. Jon Ripp, Chief Wellness Officer at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and Anthony Giordano VP at Sermo sat down to discuss how clinicians in an ever-changing workforce can adapt technology to encourage peer to peer connection, reduce burnout, and how building a refreshed healthcare system starts with leadership and listening.

Burnout among clinicians is skyrocketing, driven by increasing documentation and technology inefficiencies. Sandra Powell-Elliot of Hackensack-Meridian Health notes it is not only a matter of quality of life but impacts the way human resources are pulled from patient care. So what challenges prevent innovation at the hospital level? Vishnu Saxena, Digital General Manager Healthcare Northern America of Dedalus, joins the conversation to discuss the way AI can help optimize time, improve patient care, and prevent burnout.
