Study Summary

This trial will evaluate whether check-ins between supervisors and employees can reduce burnout in healthcare workers.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthcare workers at least 18 years old, including Patient Access Specialists, Medical Assistants, MDs, RNs, and NPs working in OHSU primary care clinics not involved in the pilot study. Both supervisors and patient-facing employees can join. Those under 18 or from clinics that participated in the pilot are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if frequent check-ins between supervisors and employees can reduce burnout among primary care clinic staff. Participants will either receive these regular support-focused check-ins or be part of a control group continuing usual practices without additional interventions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves communication strategies rather than medical treatments, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in the frequent supervisor-employee check-ins.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Usual practice, waitlist controlsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Primary care clinics randomly assigned to the control condition will continue as usual practice. If the check-is are effective in reducing burnout, then supervisor-level training will become available to supervisors at the end of the study
Group II: Brief and frequent Work-life check-ins between clinic supervisors and each staff memberExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Primary care clinics assigned to the intervention will conduct frequent (every 8 weeks) supervisor-employee brief (30 min) check-ins to identify work stressors. Supervisors at such clinics will complete training on how to use the check-ins to address work stressors.
