Dr. Fisher reminds us that the Ending Clinician Burnout Summit isn’t a "wellness" conference. It’s designed for everyone in healthcare, including clinical managers, frontline clinicians, and executives, across every generation and level. Throughout my career, I’ve seen how healthcare is better when we’re not divided by title, department, or even organization. We’re connected by what we carry, what we hope for, and what becomes possible when we work together to care for others. And more than anything, I believe we need to care for the people who care for everyone else. That means supporting healthcare workers and rethinking the systems we’re asking them to survive in. That’s why this summit feels different: - It’s a space for intersection, not isolation. - Learning across silos, not repeating the same voices. - Bridging lived experience with real possibility. If you’ve ever felt like the tools you’ve tried don’t quite fit, this is for you. 👉 Would you be up for joining me there? https://lnkd.in/gPJ8ZHzz #ECBSummit #ECBSummit2025

Mental Health Clinical Costing: Beyond the Spreadsheet, Towards Value. While the clinical imperative for quality mental health care is often discussed, the financial imperative deserves equal attention. The reality is that both aspects are interconnected. Clinical costing for mental health transcends mere accounting; it serves as a vital tool for advocacy and transformation. However, it presents unique challenges due to the continued nature of care, multidisciplinary teams, and the prevalence of comorbidity. Why is accurate clinical costing essential? *Demonstrates ROI: It highlights the value of investing in community-based and early-intervention services, proving they are more cost-effective than crisis care. *Informs Smarter Payment Models: It lays the groundwork for value-based care, bundled payments, and capitation, steering us away from fee-for-service models. *Drives Service Improvement: Understanding cost drivers enables the identification of inefficiencies and the reallocation of resources to optimize patient outcomes. *Ensures Equitable Funding: Comprehensive data empowers mental health services to secure a fair share of resources during budget negotiations, addressing historical funding disadvantages. The challenges are considerable, but the need to address them is more pressing than ever. By illuminating the true cost of care, we can foster a more sustainable, effective, and equitable mental health system for all.
