Burnout and Safety Assessment in Home Hospital Versus Brick-and-Mortar Hospital

Purpose

The goal of this observational study is to learn about burnout and workplace violence among frontline clinicians working in Home Hospital programs compared with traditional brick-and-mortar hospitals. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do Home Hospital clinicians experience different levels of burnout than clinicians working in traditional inpatient hospital settings? 2. Do Home Hospital clinicians experience different rates of workplace violence and harassment than clinicians working in traditional inpatient hospital settings? Researchers will compare clinicians working primarily in Home Hospital settings with clinicians working primarily in brick-and-mortar hospitals to assess differences in burnout, workplace safety, and work experience. Participants will: - Complete a one-time anonymous online survey through REDCap. - Answer questions about their demographic and professional background. - Complete validated questionnaires assessing burnout, workplace safety culture, and experiences with workplace violence or harassment. - Provide optional free-text feedback about their work experience.
