use of marketing

use of marketing

Southern Baptist Hospital (SBH) had long resisted the use of marketing, believing it was not an appropriate activity for a nonprofit organization. By the mid-1980s, however, the erosion of its market share due to growing competition forced SBH to adopt an aggressive marketing strategy. Its primary initiative was a campaign of television advertisements aimed to reinforce for the general public the image of SBH as a high-quality institution. Because the organization was starting its marketing activities from scratch, ad production and airtime costs were expensive. The television commercials were professionally produced and received critical acclaim from the advertising community. Following the public’s repeated exposure to these advertisements, a hospital executive requested information about the impact of the advertisements. The idea to study the campaign’s impact had not been considered earlier, and a belated evaluation effort was mounted to determine the extent to which the campaign had achieved the desired effect. Much to the consternation of SBH administrators, the evaluation found that the ads had had virtually no impact on the public’s already high perception of the institution, and no improvement in patient volumes, revenues, or market share could be attributed to the campaign. SBH administrators, committed to an expensive initiative, rationalized that the campaign had not aired long enough to generate the desired effect and invested even more money in the initiative.use of marketing

Studies of occupational stress and burnout

Studies of occupational stress and burnout

Sometimes it’s easy to figure out what’s going to motivate workers. But at other times it’s nearly impossible to know what would make someone want to persevere in a particular job. During the COVID-19 pandemic, health care workers across the globe stepped up and sacrificed themselves—in ways that the rest of us may never fully grasp—in order to take care of humanity. They exposed themselves and their families to the virus, they worked without proper personal protective equipment (PPE), and they kept at it during gruelingly long shifts, day after day. Reports estimated that health care workers’ infection rates were somewhere between 10% and 20% of the total cases. On the surface, it seemed there were no plausible explanations for why these workers continued to show up to their jobs throughout the crisis.

JUST HOW BAD WAS IT?

Health care jobs are some of the most stressful jobs in the world. Studies of occupational stress and burnout are often conducted using health care workers because as a professional group they are exposed to extreme stressors on a consistent basis in their jobs. In fact, pre-COVID-19, 63% of hospital nurses were already experiencing significant job burnout. During the pandemic, things became much worse. Some ER nurses, who typically cared for 4 to 5 patients per shift, were suddenly responsible for 25+ patients, with more than one-third on ventilators requiring highly specialized care and attention.

Health care workers realized quickly that they were at high risk of exposure to the virus. One nurse reported that managers gave him and his co-workers two N95 masks each week. Intended to be thrown away after each exposure to a dangerous pathogen, the masks became reusable, and nurses stored them in bags between shifts. “There’s no way you’re not getting it if you are working in the emergency room with the bare minimum protection,” he said.

Another nurse reported high levels of anxiety and worry surrounding health care workers’ jobs. “I would say that there is 100 percent tension in the air, nurses and health care providers are scared,” she said, adding, “They’re scared to work and are mentally and physically being torn apart by this.”

INCENTIVES

As health care facilities became overcrowded and worker shortages became apparent, states began announcing incentives to attract more health care workers. For example, in Arkansas, Governor Asa Hutchinson announced that nurses would receive a $1,000 monthly bonus payment during the pandemic, and that number would double to $2,000 if they worked in a facility with a confirmed case of COVID-19. New York hospitals offered nurses upwards of $4,000 per week. Said one nurse who left her job in Detroit for a higher paying position in New York City, “When you’re overworked and understaffed, you’re going to go somewhere where they’re going to be more appreciative of you,” adding, “I felt like I was going to make a difference in New York.”

EXHAUSTION AND ILLNESS

No amount of money could have made up for the physical and mental toll that the pandemic took on health care workers. One ICU nurse experienced repeated bouts of respiratory symptoms, with COVID-19 testing coming up negative each time. She shared, “I realize that the mental anxiety that has been running through my veins for weeks on end since we’ve been talking about this is physically making me sick.”

Another nurse recalled passing out in her driveway after a 16-hour hospital shift in a COVID-19 unit. “I just closed my eyes for what I thought would be a minute and I woke up three hours later. I guess I was just that tired,” she said.

Due to the extreme precautions that health care facilities had to take in order to protect the population, most people who became gravely ill due to the virus had to face it alone, without the support of family or friends. For these people, physicians and nurses were their only connection, and for many, the last people they ever saw. Said one worker, “It’s heartbreaking as a nurse to know that you are that person’s everything and, sometimes, in their last moments . . . the weight of trying to fill the shoes of the people who can’t be there is really heavy.”

PRESSING ON

Somehow, through all of this adversity, thousands of health care workers continued to show up for work ready to do everything they could to help the sick. Cardiac nurse Jeff Morawski said of his time in ICU during the pandemic, “You don’t know what you’re walking into, and you don’t know if you’ll be able to walk away without being sick, yourself,” adding, “You walk in every day because you have a job to do.”

For many, shifts became focused on ways to keep themselves motivated, keep patients’ spirits up, and care for one another. For example, nurses and physicians kept whiteboard tallies of COVID-19 patients who had successfully come off of ventilators and recovered as a way to remind themselves that there was hope amid all the despair they were witnessing. Critical care physician and medical director of care experience for the Henry Ford Health System Dr. Rana Awdish said that she started rituals in her clinic to check in on workers each day. She explained, “Not rounds on the patients, but rounds on the nurses and physicians, and just go to them and, you know, ask the open-ended questions of what concerns you most today, you know? Do you have what you need to take care of yourself? What are you worried about? Who’s having the hardest time on your team? How can we support you?” Another worker spent her time doing what she could to cheer up patients by drawing crowns, silly faces, and even Tiger King characters on her clear curved face shield before she entered their rooms (the shield had to be wiped clean with disinfectant after each visit, and each time, she drew something else for the next patient).

Crowds of people cheered on workers in cities like New York City each night, showing support with songs and applause. One nurse said that she had never felt more appreciated or supported than she did during the pandemic.

THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS

In spite of the solidarity, positivity, and perseverance of health care workers amid the pandemic, real concerns exist about the long-term impacts that the crisis will have on their health. Said one expert, “A lot of people in the health care field have been struggling with burnout for a long period of time,” adding, “If people don’t have the ability to decompress or have that time to ground themselves, and care for themselves, go to the bathroom and eat good meals, see their families—especially if they’re already dealing with that level of burnout—my concern is that that burnout is going to become more severe.” Indeed, Dr. Awdish predicts that a surge of post-traumatic stress disorder is likely to ripple through the health care workforce as the chaos begins to calm down and health care workers have time to process the ethical dilemmas and heartbreaking situations they dealt with in their roles.
