Top 10 Things That Keep You Up At Night Worry (about myself, our nurses, the patients and their families; lack of PPE and beds; conflicts with colleagues) Difficulty Winding Down and Racing Thoughts (especially night shift) Moral Distress (Am I doing the best thing I can in caring for my patients? Who will cover for me if I get sick?) Other things that physicians reported keep them up at night: sports, news, all news, TV, chile and garlic,Tucker Carlson, prostate, snoring spouse, dogs, sex) “Filling out surveys like these"31
Top 10 Things You Have Felt During the Pandemic Fear of transmitting the virus to others Hopelessness Exhaustion Heightened anxiety Fear of losing a loved one Lack of exercise Irritability Parenting challenges Anxiety about working at the hospital Increased sadness32
Top 10 Factors Impacting Your Work Understaffed Taking on more business management duties Overworked; Spouse being furloughed Decreased productivity and income Too many patients or too few Higher complexity and acuity Lack of support Too many calls with patient families Strained physician relationships Difficulty placing psych inpatients because of COVID restrictions33

Top 5 Reasons You Haven't Utilized Existing Resources Not aware of resources Resources are not available to me No time to use them Video / virtual conferencing is difficult35
Executive SummaryRespondents seem to be a fairly representative sample of AMITA Health independent andemployed Physicians by inpatient/outpatient roles, ministry site, gender, ethnicity, and age.The Physician Survey highlighted the compassion our providers feel for their patients, theirleaders, their nursing and support staff as well as their colleagues. Physicians were willing todisclose their own vulnerabilities, fears, anxieties, frustrations, cynicism, and exhaustion.Awareness and acceptance are important psychological first steps towards behavioral andcognitive change. This survey was an invitation for input and collaboration and 75% of ourphysicians said they had emotional support from those around them. 26% found value inspiritual support. Many physicians also provided critical feedback for our AMITA Healthleaders.36
Executive Summary ContinuedThe Culture of Caring Committee has concluded that the survey data is not only crucial to consider whenaddressing needed changes in how we empower physicians to practice self-care and guide our leaders oneffective strategies in providing tools for self-care for our physicians,and listening to their concerns. Mostimportantly, we must examine what we have learned this year when we have experienced extendedtrauma, that we will use to be a better organization in the future.Survey responses of our physicians and associates direct our leaders to continue to: Listen Empower and enable Provide recognition Respond and promote a culture of caring Evaluate effectiveness and accessibility of resources Learn where future change could be beneficial37
Specific Recommendations Based on Responses from Physicians Institute daily self- care/family - care strategies such as “gratitude exercises” before coming to work and atwork Find your “Badge/battle buddy” – Colleagues sharing and supporting each other Have open dialogue with office managers, colleagues, and leaders Establish support groups for your colleagues who are also parents or those caring for elderly relatives Develop work-time budgets, and develop transitional boundary-crossing activities. Flexibility is key Meet with colleagues and office mates and managers to create call schedules, break times, back-up, vacationtimes, etc.38
Specific Recommendations for Physicians continued Meet with a financial advisor to develop a budget and a life-style that works for you since productivity willalways fluctuate Take full advantage of free EAP program and physician psychological cocounseling for you and your family ifyou are an employed physician. Independent Physicians can utilize all the AMITA Behavioral Health offerings Understand that there is no shame in asking for help or seeking mental health services We are all feeling anxious, depressed, exhausted, and experiencing symptoms of burn out. This is to beexpected during a prolonged traumatic event. Your feelings are normal. Many of us have lost friends, familymembers, and colleagues this year. Grieving is a normal reaction.39
Recommendations Based on Responses from Physicians for our Leadership Acknowledge and recognize the sacrifices and compassion of our physicians Normalize feelings of anxiety, sadness, grief, irritability, moral distress, and burnout for all of us, whileencouraging each other with healthy ways to cope Encourage use of EAP and AMITA Behavioral Health Programs. Guarantee support resources are widelycommunicated using a variety of modalities, and accessible to all independent and employed physicians. Offerfinancial counseling and strategies to stabilize pay. Training and resources on stress management, work-life balance, moral distress, and related issues. Encouragedeveloping schedules and routines that push physicians to “take reflective breaks” and time away. Acknowledge our families and the stressors they are experiencing40
Recommendations Based on Physician Responses for our Leadershipcontinued: Explore on-site day care and continue to provide transportation, lodging, and financial support for physicians inneed Provide technology support and equipment (laptops, web cams, etc.) including supplies of PPE and other safetysupplies across all locations and offices Ensure that testing is available to physicians and their families; Examine the possibility of helping familymembers access vaccines. Overnight chaplain support and prayer cards with resource QR code Assign volunteer physicians to champion site safety, and Mental Health/Wellness initiatives41
Recommendations Based on Data for our Leadership continued Continue mining and comparing the data from Leader, Physician and Associate Surveys to guide theinstitutionalization of a Culture of Caring. Promote surveying the associates, physicians, and leaders on anongoing basis. Utilize surveys, focus groups, listening sessions, virtual support groups data, town halls,consistent rounding, suggestion boxes, results of Crisis Response events, etc., to affect the culture. Enhance coaching program for physicians on caring for self and others, mentorship, onboarding and aformalized peer support program Provide opportunities for physicians to learn new clinical or support skills across departments, as well asincreasing awareness of existing training programs Via AMITA Forward, continue addressing the standardization of operations, policies and proceduresand communication42
Taking Care of Yourself43
Cumulative Toll of Burnout It is imperative to look at our own mental health moving forward COVID pandemic has exacerbated burnout throughout healthcare In 2020, a survey from Mental Health America of 1,119 healthcare workers indicated that 76% had reportedburnout from the Pandemic. The 2021 Medscape National Physician Burnout & Suicide Report notes that 42% of physicians are burned out(12,000 respondents)Signs that we are experiencing a cumulative toll of burnout: Finding less joy in work Less energy and enthusiasm Depression and anxiety Feeling that it is not fair to take time off; feelings of guilt Increased rumination Irritability and moodiness at work and home44

The Third COVID Wave and Path to End the PandemicDr. Dana Vais, Infectious Disease, AMITA Health54
55
WHAT WE LEARNED Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission Most cases mild, but about 14 % requiring hospitalization (death 3.8%) Droplet/aerosol transmission Rt influenced by social dynamics and total number of cases Super-spreading : major role in transmission56
57
Roy and Milton classification obligate: under naturalconditions, disease occursfollowing transmission of theagent only through inhalation ofsmall particle aerosols (e.g.,tuberculosis); preferential: natural infectionresults from transmissionthrough multiple routes, butsmall particle aerosols are thepredominant route (e.g.,measles, varicella); opportunistic: agents thatnaturally cause disease throughother routes, but under specialcircumstances may betransmitted via fine particleaerosols58
TRANSMISSION: AIR SURFACESARS-CoV2 on hard surfaces (early studies): plastic and stainless steel: 6 days;bank notes: 3 dayssurgical masks: at least 7 daysLater studies: skin for up to 4 days clothes: 8 hours library books bound in natural and synthetic leather: 8 daysSARS-CoV2 in the environment: hospital isolation rooms, quarantinehotel: half and one third of the samples; none viable in culture (only onestudy: viable virus in hospital air samples collected at least 2 metres froma person with COVID-19)SARS-CoV2 in town (Tufts University in Medford, MA): risk ofinfection from touching a contaminated surface 5 in 10,000 (lower thanestimates for SARS-CoV-2 infection through aerosols, and lower thansurface-transmission risk for influenza or norovirus)59
R - reproduction number;estimated average measuringthe spread of infection in apopulationR0 - everyone is susceptible; atonsetRt - effective R; overtime,includes immunity; lags behindR is influenced by socialdynamicsRt is affected by the totalnumber of casesNature 583, 346-348 (2020)60
SUPERSPREADING Events when many people are infected at once,typically by a single individual (R0 up to 10) uneven, sputtering form of transmission, inwhich some individuals infect many people butmost infect only a few Individual factors: biological, behavioral Venue factors: crowded indoor spaces with poorventilationNature 590, 544-546 (2021) doi: https://doi.org/10.1038/d461

4600 households, 9542 individuals tested after Lockdown in April, June and Oct-Dec2020Seroprevalence against SARS-CoV-2 pan-immunoglobulins: Found in only 6.92%Of those, only 39.8% had neutralizing antibodies80% of the patients with antibodies had been asymptomaticGood news – antibodies in these patients – whether symptomatic or asymptomaticlasted for 9 months82
Conclusions:Even at the epicenter of the pandemic, with more than 50,000confirmed cases as of April 8, the estimated seroprevalenceremains low in Wuhan China (6.92%)Low percent of neutralizing antibodies in the seroconverted groupThese low seroconversion rates are supported by other studiesshowing a variable seroconversion rate after infection (average60%) with lower rates for asymptomatic patients (as low as 36%)Taken together, these findings suggest that vaccinations will berequired to promote herd immunity – infection induced by naturalimmunity will not likely be enoughLimitations – this type of assessment does not take into accountother types of immunity such as memory T and B-cell activity83
Antibodies elicited by mRNA-1273vaccine (Moderna) persisted through 6months after the second dose asdetected by three different assays andfor all age groups (18 to 71 years)NEJM April 6, 202184
