Due to short staffing and the slow new hire recruitment process, current clinical support staff, including medical assistants, LPNs, and RNs, are feeling burnt out and disengaged, and are ultimately looking for employment elsewhere. These team members are being asked to support more doctors and handle an increased daily patient volume. In an attempt to streamline the approval and hiring process, you have decided to put together an email highlighting the current issues surrounding staff burnout, disengagement, and turnover and a better staffing plan to support the increase in physician and patient volume.

A 1-page email to the executive team providing:

• An overview of the impacts of staff shortages throughout the facility
• Describe the increase in staff burnout along with justification for needing additional clinical staff
• Explain how ethical management impacts staffing decisions
• Cite articles giving data about burnout in the health care field
