![]() ![]() ![]() The association between the well-being of health care professionals (HCPs) and metrics related to quality, safety and the overall performance of health care systems is well-documented. This may be particularly useful for medical groups or health care organizations who are unable to administer their own discrete well-being survey to employees. ![]() Our findings indicate initial reliability, validity, and utility of a brief, digital engagement survey among health care professionals. In this study, 31.5% reported experiencing burnout, which was significantly lower than the national average of 38.2%. Significant differences for some of the 11 items, by sex and degree, in the odds of their agreement responses were found. ![]() The engagement survey, with 11 items, had a high internal consistency with an omega ranging from 0.80–0.93 and was shown, via EFA, to have three domains including communication, well-being, and engagement. Of the 791 respondents, 158 (20.0%) were Advanced Practice Clinicians (APCs), and 633 (80.0%) were Medical Doctors (MDs). Sample burnout was compared against national burnout. Item responses were compared by sex and degree, domains were identified via exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and internal consistency of item responses was assessed via McDonald’s omega. The emphasis of this study was on the quantitative responses. In this cross-sectional study, health care providers, including physicians and advanced clinical practitioners, employed at an academic medical center completed a brief, digital engagement survey consisting of 11 quantitative items and 1 qualitative item administered by Dialogue™. The objective of this study was to assess the utility of a brief engagement survey, that included a small subset of well-being items, among health care providers working in an academic medical center. One way to address these issues is to embed well-being items into already existing assessment tools that are administered on a regular basis, such as an employee engagement survey. However, administering an organization-wide well-being survey can be challenging due to constraints like survey fatigue, financial limitations, and other system priorities. Measurement is one of the critical ingredients to addressing the well-being of health care professionals. ![]()
