Abstract
ProblemWorkplace mistreatment is a contributor to resident burnout; understanding and intervening against mistreatment is one key tool in mitigating burnout. While Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) survey data alerts programs to general mistreatment trends, those data are not detailed enough to inform local interventions. Our team designed and implemented a Challenging Interactions Reporting Tool (CIRT) to characterize the experiences of our trainees at a granular level and to inform targeted interventions for improvement. ApproachOur CIRT was offered to 158 residents in August 2020 via REDCap. Residents submit electronic reports that are reviewed weekly by program leaders who develop action plans for each report. Reporters can identify themselves or can choose to remain anonymous. When “hot spots” for mistreatment are identified in our hospital, we implement a targeted systems-level intervention. OutcomesResidents filed 275 reports between August 2020 and December 2022. Reports represented all training environments and involved all interprofessional members of clinical teams. Residents reported awareness of, use of, and satisfaction with the tool. Next StepsOur program created the CIRT as a tool to inform local interventions for improving the safety of our clinical learning environment. We continue to disseminate our tool across our hospital’s GME programs and are now measuring the impact of our interventions.
