Fully\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rldatix.com\/en-nam\/company\/news\/rldatix-announces-catalix\/\">RLDatix Catalix<\/a>\u00a0ready, Peer Support will help combat burnout by identifying, early on, health workers who need support after experiencing a specific traumatic event or who are struggling with cumulative trauma related to work and non work-related stressors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/health-worker-wellbeing-advisory.pdf\">National Academy of Medicine<\/a>, burnout reached crisis levels among the US health workforce even before COVID-19, with 35-54% of nurses and physicians reporting symptoms. The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7604257\/\">&nbsp;National Institutes of Health<\/a>&nbsp;states that burnout not only affects health worker wellbeing but could also impact the quality of care delivered. The effects of burnout are only further compounded by historically low staffing levels, with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aha.org\/lettercomment\/2022-03-01-aha-provides-information-congress-re-challenges-facing-americas-health\">American Hospital Association<\/a>&nbsp;projecting the overall shortage of nurses to reach 1.1 million by the end of the year. By identifying distressed caregivers sooner, RLDatix Peer Support will help reduce burnout related costs &#8211; which the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ama-assn.org\/practice-management\/physician-health\/nearly-1-billion-excess-patient-costs-tied-physician-turnover\">American Medical Association<\/a>&nbsp;estimates to be nearly $5 billion annually &#8211; while also helping to mitigate its human toll.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen a traumatic healthcare event occurs, it is not only the patient and family that are impacted, but the caregiver as well,\u201d said Jeff Surges, CEO, RLDatix. \u201cHealth worker wellbeing is critical to providing safer care, and RLDatix Peer Support will empower caregivers to speak up when they or their colleagues need help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPatient safety is reliant on the psychological safety of our caregivers,\u201d said Aimee Samuels, Patient Safety Officer, Samaritan Health Services. \u201cWithout a comprehensive and systematic approach to peer support after medical harm, our employees are left to suffer alone in shame and fear. A visible and accessible platform to proactively connect peers \u2013 without barriers \u2013 affirms our commitment to the psychological wellbeing of our caregivers and creates an environment where we are safer together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHealthcare organizations have an obligation to ensure the safest possible environment for their staff,\u201d&nbsp;said Tim McDonald, Chief Patient Safety and Risk Officer, RLDatix. \u201cThat is why it is crucial to have a system in place that prioritizes outreach and provides a solution to help address issues around confidentiality, stigma, and access. RLDatix Peer Support will help organizations ensure that no clinical or non-clinical member of their team falls through the cracks and that they feel supported in their time of need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coupled with RLDatix\u2019s consulting, services and training offerings, healthcare organizations now have another vital tool when it comes to combatting burnout.
