Godby Vail S, Dierst-Davies R, Kogut D, et al. Teamwork is associated with reduced hospital staff burnout at military treatment facilities: findings from the 2019 Department of Defense Patient Safety Culture Survey. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2023;49(2):79-88. doi:10.1016/j.jcjq.2022.11.004.
Burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion that results in depersonalization and decreased accomplishment at work, is correlated with poor patient safety culture. Multiple initiatives to measure and reduce healthcare worker burnout have emerged recently. This Department of Defense study used the AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture to determine the scope of burnout in military hospitals, explore the relationship between burnout and teamwork, and explore effects of teamwork on burnout.
