How Best To Resolve Conflicts In The Health Care Setting

The world of health care has changed dramatically during the past two years. It was already experiencing various pressures, and with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, existing problems, like increasing costs and worker shortages, were exacerbated. Tasked with caring for patients amidst the ongoing threat of COVID, health care workers experienced extreme and prolonged pressures. It was difficult for them to deliver routine health care and at the same time manage an ever-increasing number of COVID-19 cases. Health care workers who risked exposure to the virus while continuing to care for patients bore a heavy emotional burden that continued long after the number of COVID cases began to recede. As a result, health care systems struggled with employee burnout and turnover as they adapted their procedures to comply with the latest federal and local guidelines.
