Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Mayo Clinic Strategies to Reduce Burnout
Stephen Swensen · 2020
82/100
👍 Worth It
Swensen and Shanafelt bring Mayo Clinic's institutional research weight to a problem that has been handled mostly with individual-blame solutions — and the shift to organizational accountability is exactly what the healthcare burnout conversation needs. The 12-action framework is concrete enough to be genuinely useful to an executive or department head. If you are not in healthcare leadership, there is little here for you; if you are, this belongs on your desk.
