Response to Pierre<\/p>\n
Thank you, Pierre for your response to the post.\u00a0 As a healthcare provider myself I agree with you about funding aspect.\u00a0 As I read through BC budget for upcoming years, there is not a whole lot of budget going towards healthcare.\u00a0 In fact the MSP premiums are to be eliminated effective January 2019, which had already been reduced in January 2018. \u00a0However, there have been some improvements in the previous years as well as suggested by Fraser Health:<\/p>\n
Thus, when it comes to budget towards healthcare there have been ups and downs, but definitely for the upcoming years it doesn\u2019t look as promising as it did a few years back.<\/p>\n
Whether, it is Culture of caring or culture of learning, as indicated by you, Pierre.\u00a0 I love the idea of culture of caring.\u00a0 However, I highly value what our team suggested about culture of learning to help team burnout.\u00a0 Here is why, fortunately I recently attended a workshop called \u201cPartnerships In Person Centered Approach (PPCA)\u201d which educated us on how important team interaction, and education, and learning is important to enhance care for our patients and residents.\u00a0 When we talk about team burnout there is often something lacking, some unmet needs.\u00a0 Through education staff can learn ways to build resiliency.\u00a0 There are times staff may be burnt out to stressor in the workplace.\u00a0 Whether those stressors are associated with work environment, being overworked or other stress, having guidance and facilitation through learnings can help alleviate this stress.\u00a0 The PPCA taught us how to create this culture of caring which ties in with what you said.\u00a0 However in order to create a caring culture one must education themselves, and the team must learn tools and skill to effectively create this culture.\u00a0 One of the other key things we learned was gaining insight in to our own self-awareness and how that may affect our interaction and communication styles.\u00a0 I recall we use the Birkman tool in this M.A. Lead program, and learning how different styles of personality affect our interaction with others.\u00a0 Therefore that can only be learned through education and learnings as well.\u00a0 Being able to understand each other better, learning ways to communicate effectively can go a long way in decreasing staff burnout.\u00a0 In order to foster a caring culture health care providers must have the skills and education to support each other.<\/p>\n
Another staff self assessments and learning initiated by physicians is the wellness test which will help staff learn about how their health is impacted, \u201cBy completing the survey, you\u2019ll receive real-time information about your health, including personalized reports and recommendations to help you manage your health. You\u2019ll also be provided the opportunity to give feedback on your workplace experience\u201d(Fraser health, 2018).\u00a0 This assessment will support staff recognizing risk factors for their overall health.\u00a0 \u00a0This personal awareness will teach staff to better deal with their challenges, and perhaps recognize what may be causing burnout for them.\u00a0 One of the roles of strategic leader is to facilitate change process, to help create skills for employees to learn from.\u00a0 \u201cStrategic leaders need to help people navigate the change process, assisting in learning new skills and capabilities, working with others in different ways, and acknowledging and authentically managing emotions through that change\u201d(Hughes, et. al. 2014, p.47). \u00a0\u00a0When there is a culture of learning, whether it is from each other, from educational seminars, through in-services, this creates more skill set environment and reliance for staff.<\/p>\n
