Conversations about wellness and resiliency are necessary, but not sufficient. What is it about EMS personnel that makes them prone to high levels of exhaustion (associated with errors, injuries, illness, absenteeism and turnover)? Work system design promotes either health or illness. We have more than 100 years of research on the design of healthy work systems. Let’s talk about how the research translates to your work system. This workshop is designed for EMS personnel, first responders and individuals who work in emergency services. Learning Objectives: Explain the differences between healthy work system design versus wellness initiatives and resiliency strategies Summarize the foundational research on how work design promotes health or illness Describe a three-part framework for designing healthy work systems that meets the needs of EMS, reduces the risk of harm, and contributes to organizational sustainability Identify risk factors of EMS workload, work pressure and work pace into your own work system
