(Spoiler alert: It was a hard time for a lot of people.) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/disaster-medicine-and-public-health-preparedness/article/burnout-and-sources-of-stress-among-health-care-risk-managers-and-patient-safety-personnel-during-the-covid19-pandemic-a-pilot-study/36EF6F4AD3E0034CFF7857CBDEEAA528

Balancing care: The psychological impact of ensuring patient safety
Content Article CommentSuch an important story! Thank you for your bravery in sharing it.

We desperately need to do better at supporting the people who are trying to make healthcare safer.
