Description

Healthcare systems worldwide are undergoing rapid transformation driven by new technologies, rising patient expectations, regulatory complexity, and ongoing resource constraints. These shifts have improved aspects of care delivery but have also intensified the demands placed on frontline providers. As a result, the global healthcare community has become increasingly aware of the severe consequences of provider burnout. Exhaustion, moral distress, and disengagement affect both provider well‑being and critical outcomes like patient safety and service quality. Despite growing recognition of the issue, many efforts to address provider well‑being remain fragmented and overlook the broader organizational culture in which healthcare professionals work.

Fostering Organizational Culture for Provider Well-Being: The 5S's Well-Being Framework emerges from the recognition that meaningful and sustainable change requires a holistic and integrated approach. Through theoretical insights, empirical research, practical strategies, and real-world case studies, it explores how self, society, state, systems, and spirituality (5S) can be applied in diverse healthcare contexts, recognizing that healthcare providers do not function in isolation. Covering topics such as compassion in healthcare, organizational efficiency, and self-empowerment, this book is an excellent resource for healthcare leaders, policymakers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and more.
