• Description:
  The COVID-19 pandemic is over, but US healthcare workers (HCWs) continue to report high levels of work-related exhaustion and burnout but are unlikely to seek help. Digital tools offer a scalable solution. Between February and June 2022, we surveyed Missouri hospital administrators to assess HCW mental health and identify related evidence-based or evidence-informed resources. Simultaneously, we conducted a digital survey and focus groups with HCWs and leaders at Washington University School of Medicine (WUSOM) in St. Louis to evaluate HCW mental health needs, and preferences for digital support. Here, we describe the results and subsequent development of the Gateway to Wellness (G2W) program, a digital precision engagement platform that links HCWs to the most effective tailored resources for their mental health needs.
