At what cost are we losing EMS professionals to burnout and turnover? And what can we do to prevent it? In this webinar, Let’s Talk Real Numbers: Combatting EMS Burnout and Turnover, you will learn strategies to identify high-risk experiences within your organization that can be acted upon to improve employee retention.
How can data drive these efforts? Dr. Remle Crowe and Dr. Antonio Fernandez will discuss the latest research related to burnout and turnover in EMS, along with how agencies can leverage the power of data to monitor factors related to burnout, take action and reduce turnover.
You’ll learn about data-driven strategies including:
• Monitoring assault on providers • Tracking critical incidents detrimental to mental health • Recording exposures to dangerous substances or diseases like COVID-19
• Providing follow up on patient outcomes after transfer of care at the emergency department
