US Clinician Wellbeing Study

​US Magnet twinning hospitals in Magnet4Europe are conducting their own study of clinician wellbeing and patient outcomes led by the University of Pennsylvania. The U.S. Clinician Wellbeing Study (CWS) includes 60 US Magnet twinning hospitals and a comparison group of all hospitals in the two large states of New York and Illinois. All 60 Magnet hospitals have achieved IRB approval and data collection is well underway with surveys to nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. 
The dedication of so many clinicians to participate in an arduous study while responding to the Covid-19 pandemic is inspiring. We applaud the CWS site principal investigators and their teams for their imaginative interventions to attain high response rates.  Every week Penn publishes the “Top Five” performing hospitals on different criteria - best response rate, greatest increase in response rate over the week - and provides every hospital with a graph of its own response rate by week and benchmarked against the leader.  Friendly competitions are underway in hospitals including for best response rate among hospitals within the same health system and raffles with prizes such as tablets and wireless earbuds for clinicians that complete the survey. When data are analyzed by Penn, each hospital receives a full report of their findings benchmarked against other hospitals. The final phase of the study will be hospital work groups to translate the findings into actions to improve work environments and clinician wellbeing.  Magnet4Europe in all of its many aspects stands poised to have a major international impact on improving hospital work environments and clinician wellbeing and patient safety.
