National Academy of Medicine Presents Clinician Well-Being Case Studies

The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) created a series of in-depth case studies, which provide actionable solutions to promote clinician well-being and reduce burnout. Case studies were authored by members of the NAM's Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience and NAM staff on the basis of extensive interviews, document review, and site visits. Each case study was externally peer reviewed.

To select subjects for the case studies, authors considered diversity in profession, clinical/educational setting, and type of intervention. In addition, each subject was required to meet the following criteria:

• Addresses the system-level driver(s) of clinician burnout and well-being as identified by the Action Collaborative’s Conceptual Model of the Factors Affecting Clinician Well-Being and Resilience
• Has been implemented for more than 6 months
• Measures and reports outcomes data
• Demonstrates success in promoting well-being and reducing burnout

This project is ongoing, and additional case studies will be posted when complete. Suggestions for case studies may be submitted to ClinicianWellBeing@nas.edu.
