Beyond Self-care: Science-based Skills to Recover From and Prevent Burnout

Tuesday April 15, 2025 9:00am - 10:15am PDT

Burnout poses a significant threat to healthcare through its detrimental impact on health human resources. Historically, burnout interventions have targeted self-care in healthcare workers. Yet the science is clear that burnout is also influenced by cultural and systemic/organizational factors. This is what we describe as the “burnout burger”, with the individual squeezed between cultural and organizational factors. In this innovative presentation, Dr. Dayna will present the science of burnout and actionable strategies to address the burnout burger. Attendees will gain insight into cutting-edge, evidence-based tips and techniques. These skills can empower individuals, leaders, and workplaces to effectively address burnout and foster the well-being of employees, ensuring the sustainability of healthcare.

Creating Effective Partnership with Patients: The Art and Science of Chronic Disease Management

Tuesday April 15, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm PDT

Health systems increasingly recognize the crucial role of patient collaboration, especially in managing chronic diseases. However, many healthcare providers lack the training to address the psychological aspects of chronic disease management effectively. In this presentation, Dr. Dayna offers science-backed strategies to enhance patient engagement and empower patients to take ownership of their health journey. Drawing from behavioral science and motivational interviewing, she will explore effective communication techniques to integrate patient perspectives into treatment plans for better adherence and outcomes. Finally, she will review the importance of supporting behavior change in healthcare providers themselves, who are being asked to transition from their traditional training as an expert into shared decision-making. Attendees will gain practical, science-based strategies they can use in their daily practice to foster meaningful partnerships with patients.
