Caregiver burnout is well documented and on the rise.

Organizations across the country are testing how to apply the principles with encouraging results. If you want to learn how one clinical team at Michigan Medicine, spearheaded by Diane Lopez with help from Jamie Beach, has changed what was once a toxic culture in a medical unit, this episode of WIHI is for you.
