During National Nurses Week, which began May 6 and concludes on Florence Nightingale’s birthday May 12, we celebrate her legacy of leadership and integrity that lives on in the nurses of today. Like Nightingale, today’s nurses are on the frontlines of improving quality care. From the bedside to the C-suite to the boardroom, nurses are critical partners in leading the transformation of health care across the care continuum.
 
A special series of podcasts spotlights four female physicians who participate in the Women’s Wellness through Equity and Leadership (WEL) Grant Program to develop support strategies for female physicians to address burnout professionally and personally.

Physicians Practice
What do we mean by “culture” and why is it so important to address? Culture is often hard to describe — but we do know how it makes us feel. On the surface, culture is represented by behaviors, by the way people interact, by how patients are treated, and even by the look and feel of the workplace.

As many as one in four nurses experience PTSD at some point in their careers, and a recent study in the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation found as many as 48% of nurses working in a critical care transplant unit met the criteria for PTSD symptoms.
 
Becker's Hospital Review
Physician Compare, a government website that is designed to help patients find physicians, is missing essential information on individual providers, making it almost entirely unhelpful, according to a study in  JAMA Internal Medicine.
 
Workforce
STAT
The evidence is clear: Having a diverse health care workforce can have an impact on patient care. But there are still big challenges to recruiting and retaining a diverse health care workforce, according to a panel of experts at the recent Atlantic Pulse Summit on Health Care.
 
Modern Healthcare
According to some health care facilities, the number of physician residents has not substantially increased over the years despite growing demand for their services. A major barrier is the cost involved in training physicians, which have increased over the years as health systems have to take on more of the cost of training residents to meet workforce demands.
