Resources for hospitalists

SHM is committed to supporting hospitalists and the health care team to safely deliver patient care while maintaining the health and wellbeing of the families and the community they serve. SHM has developed resources for hospitalists as well as compiled a listing of existing resources which you can find on our website. The resources include:

Hospital Medicine COVID-19 Check-in Guide for Self & Peers

This is the first resource produced by SHM’s Wellbeing Taskforce to address the issues of hospitalist burnout and mental health during COVID-19. It is designed to help hospitalists to break the culture of silence around wellbeing, burnout, and mental health during COVID-19 by encouraging open conversation around how they are handling and processing the pandemic.

SHM’s Strategies for Hospitalist Wellbeing Initiatives during COVID-19

This resource was developed based on information shared during an April 2020 webinar on Provider Wellbeing. Included are examples of initiatives currently being implemented by various hospital medicine groups. You can find this resource at https://bit.ly/3seNBKQ.

Webinars

Hear experiences and examples of how hospitalists and hospital medicine grouups are managing their response to the clinical and practice implications of COVID-19. Webinars have included topics related to hospitalist wellbeing. For instance, a recent webinar featured Gail Gazelle, MD, MCC, a physician coach, author, and mentor focused on burnout and resilience. This was a virtual, confidential session created for hospitalists to have a space for honest reflection, support, and the exploration of strategies for navigating the stress and challenges of being on the front lines of the COVID-19 response and in caring for themselves and their families during a pandemic. See upcoming and recorded SHM webinars on the website: www.hospitalmedicine.org/clinical-topics/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19-resources-for-hospitalists/webinars.
