A confluence of mental health and grief expert contributors, including therapists, nurses, doctors, authors, researchers and end-of-life professionals, have launched a text-based tool\u00a0that they say can help address clinician burnout and fatigue.<\/p>\n

Reducing healthcare worker burnout\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company’s FAQ says the service, developed by a worldwide team of care experts, is designed to complement other mental health services, like counseling or therapy.<\/p>\n

In addition to receiving support texts, healthcare workers can also choose to invite two supporters, and Help Text will send “gentle reminders” about how they can provide support — like running errands, making meals or doing tasks at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Help Text contributor Janae Sharp, founder of the nonprofit Sharp Index dedicated to reducing physician suicide and\u00a0burnout<\/a>, says that there is power in the interplay of social media, media and marketing to\u00a0destigmatize mental health concerns<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The problem of physician suicide and the problem of physician burnout, it’s complicated,” so Sharp Index works with many partners to build mental health support solutions with physicians, she told\u00a0Healthcare IT News<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sharp, who has a background in healthcare IT, spoke candidly about her personal loss of a physician spouse to suicide and finding\u00a0few support resources. She developed\u00a0Sharp Index to be\u00a0a resource to support the healthcare industry’s mental health challenges.<\/p>\n

Addressing healthcare worker mental health<\/strong><\/p>\n

Text-based communications are regarded as\u00a0enhancing patient experiences<\/a>,\u00a0and have become\u00a0routine<\/a>\u00a0for countless providers and patients since it became clear that individuals want texts and that healthcare organizations could improve outcomes.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0clinical texting has a downside in that it can create operational challenges and trigger alert fatigue<\/a>, burnout is at an all-time high, and providers are using an array of\u00a0digital health tools to improve employee wellness.<\/p>\n
