#Clinician Burnout

[faultfalha]

A new system of automation is helping to reduce clinician burnout and improve patient care. By automating some of the more mundane tasks, clinicians are able to spend more time with their patients. This has led to better care and a more positive work-life balance for clinicians.

[chronicsymptomsyndrome]

Here’s why I don’t take “inattentive vs hyperactive” seriously…

Clinicians: after using my neurotypical brain to briefly observe you in a completely sedentary office setting I noticed that you did not scream or lose your mind or run laps around my office even once, and since adhd burnout/paralysis/executive dysfunction don’t exist, you must have inattentive type. That’s the only explanation for your composure while in my office. You’re welcome :)

Actual adults with adhd: HELP I’m TOO TIRED to MOVE (unless I’m presented with any adequate stimulation) (unless I feel safe enough to fidget) (unless I get adequate rest and nutrients) (unless by some miracle I can take care of myself properly) (unless I hear a song I like) (unless it’s 2am when I get the zoomies) (unless it’s something I find fun then I’ll be bouncing off the walls) (unless it’s a project that interests me then I’ll work for twelve hours straight) (unless I have to sit for more than two minutes) (unless you ask about my childhood when I was constantly yelled at to calm down and sit still) (unless by some miracle I can achieve proper self care so I’m not constantly trying to pour from an empty cup)

As per usual, I was talking to a client this week about autistic cognitive processing and I felt the sand shifting under my feet. So I come here to you Tumblr to do my own autistic cognitive processing in the hopes of better serving myself and my clients.

I have known for a long time that I can't process my thoughts and emotions verbally. This is what sometimes leads to me getting frustrated, "stuck," and increasingly pressurized towards my meltdown threshhold when I'm trying to express a half-formed thought or need. This is why I often choose to process my cognition in writing. It allows me to sift about in the sands of my mind, sliding to and fro, checking and rechecking, until I find what I need.

There is something to the capacity to shape my communication more freely and without the preesure that I put myself under which often leads to stammering, stuttering, aphasia, confusion, and my inability to hold something as ephemeral as language in my head long enough to manipulate it like clay with my hands. Words are not my brain's mother tongue in the first place, and it can be a welcome relief to truly take the slowed pace I need to translate my thoughts into a language others will understand.

Some others. I am well aware of who I learned my translation process from and of how that has made my translations inaccessible to some of the very people who share my brain.

The thing is, to learn to speak at all when your brain processes this slowly takes enormous effort. To learn to CHANGE your speech is back breaking. I have been trying for fifteen years.

Autistic cognitive processing pace and the disabling ramifications aren't things we talk about often. It's one reason some of us become obsessed with having back up plan upon back up plan (because we literally cannot think fast enough to keep up with the demands of our lives). It's one of the fastest paths to burnouts and meltdowns. It's part of why we are unable to keep up with the demands of social interactions, especially in large groups (too many social cues moving too quickly to be processed at pace and we drop the ball in the moment even if we realize later).

Because the pace of our cognition is chronically slowed, we are chronically disabled socially, emotionally, cognitively, etc, and we are forced to spend an incredible amount of mental and physical energy either compensating for that, recovering from it, or both. That is energy and resources neurotypical people get to spend on other things in their lives, maybe a project or hobby, a relationship, hell, just relaxing.

There can be upsides to it. This slowed cognition seems to be related to how the process of bottom-up analysis functions during cognitive processes in Autistic folks' brains. That bottom-up analysis is a really interesting cognitive processing style that seems to be responsible for increased pattern recognition! So a lot of how we're able to analyze, learn, understand, mimic, etc based on pattern recognition is thanks to this processing style. It helps us take in a holisticly detail oriented view of the things we look at, which can (with support) make us great researchers, investigative journalists, and inventers.

But while the upsides have become more discussed as we've become more willing to see Autism itself as neutral (a very good thing in my opinion), we sometimes forget the other side of the coin.

I often find myself trying to brute force my way through my processing pace. It always ends badly. And that's really the trouble. I can talk most of the time, but I can talk A LOT faster than I can process my thoughts. So most of the time my words are just. Garbage. Sounds. If you ask my to speak to you, you are asking me to fill up soundwaves because realistically my brain moves at about 25% of the speed of the conversation.

It's why as a clinician I have to be so incredibly careful what I do and say and how I hear my clients because I *truly* am processing what the tell me at auch a significant delay. It can sometimes be days later when the information truly settles into place.

The same is obviously true in my personal life! It can take me days or even weeks to figure out what a single thought or feeling means in the context of my own life because I have to process that often entirely alone or just on paper. Not because no on one WOULD help me I have people in my life who would be willing but because by the time talking to someone would be any help, I would have basically figured it out enough to just say it out loud and I don't really need their help by then. There are rare exceptions to this when I do definitely seek help but it can be so frustrating to be trapped, voiceless, in your own emotions.

I don't have a framework for this, only the suggestion to embrace the slowness. I have found that when you are not constantly fighting against it all the time, it feels a little more like home, a little more like it's working FOR your instead of AGAINST you.

A report has been published on the overarching effects of russia attacking ukrainian power infrastructure, especially in winter. As well as medical facilities.

An excerpt:

Before the full-scale invasion by Russia in February 2022, Ukraine boasted one of the most developed power sectors in Europe, with universal access to electricity. However, by June 2024, available capacity had plummeted by 85 percent due to Russia’s systematic attacks on energy infrastructure. Russia has blocked gas transit to Ukraine, seized assets, launched cyberattacks, and, since October 2022, systematically bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. By September 2024, Russia had allegedly destroyed all thermal power plants and nearly all large hydroelectric power plants.

Data collected by TH and PHR since the start of the full-scale invasion shows that the cumulative impacts of Russia’s direct attacks on health facilities, as well as strikes on energy infrastructure with reported impact on health care facilities, have impeded health care delivery and endangered patients and health care workers alike. For example, since the start of the full-scale invasion, health care workers and patients at the Okhmatdyt National Specialized Children’s Hospital have faced multiple attacks that have caused death and suffering. Airstrikes shattered its windows in March 2022, forcing vulnerable patients, including terminally ill and immunocompromised children, to be treated underground despite the grave health risks of doing so. On October 10, 2022 – the day that Russia began its large-scale aerial assault on Ukrainian energy infrastructure – a missile strike killed one of Okhmatdyt’s doctors as she drove to work. In the months that followed, frequent power outages lasting up to several days resulted in lights shutting off in all departments but intensive care. The energy cuts jeopardized patient health by interrupting or delaying surgeries; forcing surgeons to operate in darkness illuminated only by headlamps; discontinuing flow of water to the hospital, creating unhygienic conditions; and rendering diagnostic and treatment equipment unusable.

A survey of 2,261 health care workers conducted as part of this research project indicates that the experiences of clinicians in Mariupol and Okhmatdyt hospitals are far from unique. Key findings from the survey include: 

The overwhelming majority (92.3 percent) of health care workers report experiencing power outages at their health facility as a result of attacks on energy infrastructure.

Two-thirds of health care workers (66.3 percent) reported that power outages due to attacks on energy infrastructure affected medical procedures in their facilities.

Specifically, 8.4 percent noted delays in elective surgeries, 1.7 percent experienced interruptions during surgery, and 1.8 percent reported failures in life support systems due to outages.

Outages disrupted communication systems (35.7 percent), water supply (21.5 percent), heating and ventilation (19 percent), and elevators (16.5 percent).

7.8 percent of respondents noted malfunctions in diagnostic equipment, such as X-ray machines and MRIs due to outages. Medication storage issues, leading to spoilage, were reported by 13.8 percent, and 3.6 percent informed about problems with storing biological samples like blood or embryos.

Permanent health harms (36 reports) and deaths (20 reports) were also reported.  

82.9 percent of health workers experienced increased stress, burnout, and other challenges due to these attacks on energy infrastructure and disruption of services, with 27 percent facing these hardships daily.

Enough is enough

I've been in an insomnia death spiral for a while, and it is REALLY BAD right now. I sometimes say that I wish days were 28 hours long so I can fit everything in, but at the moment I'm thinking I need 32-hour days, if not longer. My brain is flat-out nope-ing out of work and it is even more exhausting trying to goad myself into doing it.

It was Senpai's birthday a couple of weekends ago, and while I'd already delivered my greeting (and a small pencil sketch) to him at the book launch, I also wanted to do something meaningful for the occasion, and I think that he would have been 100% behind me doing this:

I dug out the post-it note on which the one psychiatrist at the beginning of the panini, who had actually listened to me (see footnote 4), gave me the name of a place that does neuropsychological testing in English, and I emailed them. So I'll be having a consultation with one of their clinicians next week to get that process started.

Back then I'd balked at the price (and it was quite out of my budget at the time, almost a months' rent), and it still is a LOT of money (with the various followups and formal diagnosis from a psychiatrist and so on it will definitely be more than that especially when I don't have the health insurance that Old Job had provided), but I am in a bit better situation financially now.

I wrote "actually listened to me" in paragraph 3 because every other psychiatrist I talked to since then had been incredibly dismissive of my experiences. It's especially frustrating when you pour yourself out to them, about how so many of your eccentricities and the traumas of your childhood suddenly make sense when considered in light of what we now know about (inattentive) ADHD, and they tell you to your face that no, you don't have it, go take a nap. One doctor at least gave me an official referral to psychotherapy but I didn't use it because 1) you're on your own to find a therapist (good luck, lol), 2) you have to pay for most of it anyway, and 3) it's not going to be effective if it doesn't address the root cause(s) behind that trauma.

On further reflection, I now realize that these "death spirals" were not ordinary burnouts (if that can even be a thing) but specifically ADHD burnouts, so it's even more imperative that I get to the truth at the bottom of this. It can very well be that I'm too damn tired for tests to properly show my baseline, but structured cognitive/behavioral/whatever tests will have some kind of rubric and maybe even quantitative measurements so it will be less about how they feel about what I tell them about myself but what the scores say about it.

But what's more, I now have copies of the figurative receipts. When I was visiting my parents last year I made scans of all my old report cards and other school records (that Mom meticulously organized and kept). Not every single page but those with grades or teacher/parent comments on. I don't really have any interest in reading through them myself. Some of the criticisms areas for improvement my teachers had for me are still etched in my mind 30 years later, because I couldn't "fix" them then (and not for lack of trying) nor really understand why I should (be like normal people), and still can't and don't. I will not enumerate them here.

_________

TL;DR:

I don't care what it costs (a lot) but I am (finally) getting my damn brain tested for ADHD because I can't manage it on my own anymore while pretending to the world (and the world trying to tell me) that my problems have nothing to do with it.

6-8-24 - Max (co-con Raine)

Howdy y'all, things have been wild and rough so here's a general "shit i've been up to" post lol

I've been in a really bad headspace for about the past month. for those who aren't yet aware, i've been strugglng really badly with autistic burnout, but only fairly recently (within the last few months) learned that term. anyway, that amounts, as of rn, to zero distress tolerance, remarkable sensitivity to stimuli (the sun is actually trying to burn my eyes out) and just a general sense of chaos.

i'm working on it, though! i've got a therapist and meeting with a trauma therapist next month.

i'm really nervous... i'm not diagnosed with DID or anything along those lines, but i have, in face, been experiencing key signs of it (i am, in fact, the host of a system). I just know that navigating that subject with clinicians can be incredibly tricky. i hope she's willing to hear me out, and if not (regarding the other members of my mind) at the very least she can try to help us process what has caused all of this. all i can do is be honest about my experience.

anyway, things are wonderfully outside by brain. luckily i'm doing very will, other than the whole mental illness thing lol. i love that my brain is the culprit for most of my problems, no, really, it's great.

i hope y'all are doing well! i'm gonna try to start using this platform more c:

take care!

i’ve had many Autistic Special Interest Fandoms (my brain latches on to a new one every 5-6 years) but tbh sunny is 100% the one that has resonated with me the hardest bc it’s the most relatable, for the following reasons:

i’m from philly, have lived in philly my whole life

i’m a self-centered queer burnout in my 30s who uhhh NEEDS substances

i have diagnosed adhd and bpd and have been described as “very sick” by at least one clinician (for context tho this was during php and she was describing the whole group and it was light-hearted but also accurate)

“Clinicians experience moral stress when they feel like they can’t provide good care because the systems they work in are working against them. Our findings make clear that the crisis of professional wellbeing facing our healthcare workforce is not only a mental health problem but also a moral one,” Buchbinder said.

“The STEPPS findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the health care worker’s perspective on every day and crisis situations arising in contemporary American hospitals,” said Berlinger.  “Often, these frontline workers–in this case, physicians–are diagnosing what’s not working in their systems, and what they need to do their jobs well and to feel they are doing right by their patients. It is crucial for clinical leadership to listen to these insights and use them to build much more supportive environments for the work of healing and the relief of suffering.”

“Extreme burnout of our healthcare workforce was present before the pandemic and has been exacerbated in a most extreme way these past few years as we continue to move through this continuous crisis,” said Nadia E. Charguia, MD, director of UNC Health’s Taking Care of Our Own Program and a member of the STEPPS advisory board.

“We have an opportunity to learn and grow from all we have been through. We cannot continue to primarily focus on helping our workforce be more resilient when we are asking them to tolerate fractured and broken systems,” Charguia said.

 Reducing Burnout with Virtual Medical Scribing Services

Burnout among healthcare professionals has reached alarming levels, with administrative tasks being a primary contributor. The introduction of virtual medical scribing services offers a practical solution to this pressing issue, enabling providers to manage their workloads more effectively. These services have redefined the way documentation is handled, significantly reducing the stress associated with EHR management.

Virtual medical scribes operate seamlessly in the background, capturing every detail of provider-patient interactions. Their ability to integrate with existing workflows ensures that documentation tasks are completed with minimal disruption to clinical activities. This enhances operational efficiency and allows healthcare providers to dedicate more time to patient care.

Medical scribing services are an invaluable asset for any practice because of their accuracy and precision. By leveraging advanced AI technologies, virtual scribes ensure that patient records are comprehensive and error-free. This level of detail is essential for maintaining high standards of care and fostering trust between providers and patients.

Incorporating virtual medical records into healthcare systems has far-reaching benefits. Beyond improving documentation efficiency, they help restore clinicians' enthusiasm for their work. By alleviating the administrative burden, providers can focus on delivering compassionate and high-quality care while enjoying a more balanced and fulfilling professional life.

[butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway]

I'm…really going back and forth on whether or not I should be a therapist. I love psychology in general and diagnosing people, but I'm naturally a really judgemental, opinionated person (I don't like things like femininity because of dysphoria, or alcohol, but I'm completely all-or-nothing about it. I judge people for being feminine or drinking alcohol, even if they're not alcoholics or anything, because…I don't understand them).

My empathy's not the greatest either. I get mad when I'll tell people advice and they don't follow it, or I'll get annoyed when people just want to vent and they don't want a solution. I get empathy burnout/compassion fatigue a lot faster than other people do. I'm a pretty selfish person, and I feel like being selfish is bad for a therapist. Obviously all of this stuff can be learned (being judgemental would probably stop if I met more people and gradually stopped stereotyping them, and empathy is a learned skill), but I don't know if being a therapist is right for me. Thanks for your help, if you answer this.

You're absolutely right that these things can be learned! Empathy is not necessarily a natural emotional path for me, but I've developed a lot of intentional and mindful ways of thinking that more than "make up" for that. And I think all of us can struggle with watching people struggle to sit in distress when there are solutions that appear obvious to us, but a big part of the learning process as a clinician is learning how to remove yourself from the feedback you give unless there's an active reason to include disclosure or personal perspective.

I don't know you Anon, and I'm not going to give you career advice based on this message. But I am going to say that you really haven't painted a very good picture of yourself here as a prospective clinician.

Therapy is absolutely not about diagnosing people, and psychology is one of the frameworks of what we do, not what it's about. It's great to be interested in those things, but on their own, they won't make you an effective therapist or make you happy with your work.

To be honest, this ask has given me no indication whatsoever of why you might be interested in being a therapist. I'd be more inclined to ask you if you're feeling like you *should* be a therapist and are looking for reasons to talk yourself out of it based on how you've framed this.

I want to be really clear. Lots of people get told they should be therapists when what is actually being said is "you seem to have really ineffective boundaries around when and what others share with you about their lives and depend on you for." That's not a reason to go into therapy. I should know. It's one of the reasons I went into therapy. And had it been the only one, I absolutely would have gone down in flames years ago.

If you decide that you want to learn more about psychology, I think that's awesome! Psychology can be a fascinating field. It's not the only entry point into therapy, and in my opinion not necessarily even the best one depending on where your personal need areas are. Social work is also a common entry point, and can be more effective for some, especially those whose backgrounds are more vulnerable to the kinds of biases that tend to be reinforced in medical fields. But regardless of which method of learning you might choose to take, you can still choose not to become a therapist after. It can just be cool things you learned because they interested you. And frankly, if you genuinely enjoy diagnosing people, it might be for the best that be all it ever is. Diagnosis isn't what people outside of the field treat it as, and the field has worked REALLY hard to evolve it into its current understanding of "basically only something we do for billing purposes" with a little sprinkle of "sometimes symptoms cluster together in similar ways and we can help people with similar support tools based on that cluster". No one I know who treats diagnosis that way LIKES doing it though, because there's this inherent sense of "I am ascribing labels and meanings to clients through their insurance companies that I lose control of how others interpret as soon as I put them on the documentation" on top of the frantic fear of "what if someone else along the treatment/billing chain decides I was wrong?"

Here are some things I do like about my time at work! I like doing psycho-education with clients about things like executive function, the autonomic system, human need-meeting, relationship cultivation dynamics, etc. I like getting to know my clients as people and coming to understand their stories, where they come from as people, and the things about their lives that are important to them. I like hearing from them about the ways that they see changes over time when we find the resources and tools that work for them. I like learning from them about the different worlds, perspectives, and experiences that exist in life.

I really don't know if this response will have been helpful or not Anon, because to be honest I'm still really not sure what you were hoping for here. You really don't sound like you are interested in any of the things that make therapy what it is, and the things you do seem interested in seem to have more to do with liking to learn about mental health from the outside? Which is fine! There are lots of people who like that and plenty of reasons to get into that sort of thing. But I just don't know why you are motivated to be a therapist then, given all the hurdles you expect to face. Helping professions are jobs that take a deep emotional toll and tend to be really hard to do without compromising your moral values. There's no reason to seek out a job like that unless you have a real passion for the role/work specifically, not just the tangentially related subject matter.

Ultimately, I'm a therapist because I'm an abolitionist and a harm reductionist. I work for a practice that is operating within some really specific parameters, seeking to evolve the field and change the way care is executed over all. We're not just practitioners, we're advocates and political activists, all day every day. I sought out accreditation and certification as part of the effort to challenge the status of said acceeditation and certification. It's....a very specific kind of choice. And it's really not one that I recommend many people make. I'm lucky in my ability to do what I do and work with who I work with. Not everybody will be. And believe me, the amount of money one sinks into these credentials is not worth the salaries one gets, especially not if one is not also making really deliberate socio-political choices that are worth paying for. So like. If you enter therapy with the beliefs you describe and cannot guarantee challenging them by the time you get certified, *I personally do not want you in my field, whether you are a capable practitioner or not* because those beliefs are exactly the things I am working to eliminate and undermine through my own work. Psych abolition is hard enough without more people who are willing to impose themselves on their clients. This is not meant to be harsh or cruel. I understand what it's like to want something that is hard for you to do. But this is a field in which you can hold IMMENSE power over people's lives and you are describing yourself as someone who would judge, look down on, and be critical of your clients. That belongs NOWHERE NEAR such power, and if you cannot ensure the elimination of those tendencies, either through advocacy work and praxis, or through education, then you need to stay away.

I hope that you decide to learn more about these topics regardless of your career choices, because I have the sense that it would help you better understand and interact with others and the world. But either way, I strongly recommend looking into abolition as a general concept, and psych abolition as a more specific one. It may help you find the conceptual challenges that make this decision easier for you.

I feel like schizophrenia is such a common misdiagnosis for autism, especially in my generation (X) and older. It tended to get thrown at formerly high masking people who went into a severe burnout crisis and got hospitalized.

"Borderline schizophrenia" (not a real clinical term but nonetheless something lots of people were called) is actually a forgotten label but it's what half the older autistics I know, ended up being called. (And Borderline Schizophrenia could imply other labels as well, but all of those are things that are often huge index of suspicion for autism misdiagnosis.)

It's Very Very Suspicious Of Autism to me that the highly gifted "failure to launch" people I knew always ended up with that label, that the older people in my autistic family ended up with that label, etc. In my own family - older autists who are a somewhat higher support needs optic or in severe burnout, ended up labeled schizophrenic, just as ones with a very low support needs optic ended up called something else (LD, ADHD, etc.)

My (autistic) ex ended up being labeled schizophrenic before getting re-diagnosed autistic. Schizophrenia is the diagnosis an undiagnosed adult autist was also likely to end up with, in the 20th, if they ended up on the street, and or presented with meltdowns/shutdowns/severe burnout. Many institutionalizations of specific people for adult schizophrenia that I'm aware of, were actually for what we are now calling autistic burnout. (If you want to find autistic burnout in history, ask older people about "nervous breakdown.")

Clinicians for a long time didn't know how to tell the difference between an autistic in burnout, and a schizophrenic, especially since the former can look a lot like the optic of schizophrenic catatonia.

There were a lot of clinicians in the late 20th who would label a person schizophrenic based on the "negative" symptoms - flat affect, for example - which can be very very hard to tell from autism. And it can take an experienced clinician to recognize autism in an adult autist with stronger communication and emotional deficits.

Just as ADHD is a common adjacent diagnosis to autism... schizophrenia has a strong history of this as well.

Love how ADHD, autism and schizophrenia objectively have the same amount of traits and experiences in common, but schizophrenics aren't welcome in the metaphorical club house because they're bad for the image the neurodivergency movement is currently trying to capitalize on and with "love" I mean fuck y'all

Nurse Call Systems Industry Size, Status, Analysis and Forecast 2030

The global nurse call systems market was valued at USD 1.7 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.11% from 2023 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the increasing need for more diverse and integrated healthcare platforms that improve mobility assistance, enhance patient care, and streamline workflows in healthcare settings. The market is also driven by evolving reimbursement policies in healthcare. For instance, Medicare is shifting from reimbursement schemes based on quantity to those based on quality and outcomes. This change is motivated by the rising costs of healthcare. Medicare estimates that its current reimbursement practices result in an additional USD 2.1 billion in costs annually, a figure that it aims to reduce by focusing on technology-driven healthcare solutions. As a result, hospitals and other healthcare facilities are adopting technology-oriented nurse call systems to enhance their workflow, improve patient care, and reduce costs.

Another key factor driving market growth is the growing adoption of real-time location systems (RTLS) integrated with wireless technologies in healthcare facilities. RTLS allows healthcare providers to track the movement of medical staff, patients, and equipment, thereby increasing productivity and improving response times. For example, Televic’s AQURA Care Communication Platform is an integrated system that includes modules for nurse calls, personal localization (RTLS), patient and staff safety, alarm delivery, and personal mobility. The platform is designed to be flexible, allowing for integration with existing hospital infrastructure, which enhances the system’s utility across various healthcare settings.

Additionally, with the rise of home healthcare and nursing home facilities, major industry players are focusing on improving patient response times and reducing nurse fatigue. Companies are differentiating their products by integrating nurse call systems with various diagnostic solutions and technologies to offer more comprehensive services. For instance, Vocera Communications, Inc. introduced an analytics solution in June 2019 that provides detailed insights into the number of calls, texts, alarms, and alerts received by clinicians, helping improve overall operational efficiency and communication.

From the perspective of occupational health, work-related stress constitutes a hazardous exposure and significant safety risk for the health care workforce. Due to an onslaught of work-related stressors, from staffing shortages to resource constraints to entrenched social injustices, most of the U.S. health care workforce currently practices in unsafe conditions. It is time to see clinician burnout for what it is: a problem of hazardous work environments.

I had never thought of it, but it makes so much sense: if your work is causing you stress (which is bad for your health, we know this), then your workplace has unsafe conditions. The article is talking specifically about healthcare workers, but it applies to all workplaces, imo. And instead of externalising it to the workers and telling them to do mindfulness or something, we need to change the workplace and its culture to make it so that it isn't stressful for the workers anymore.
