    Abstract

    There has been increasing recent linkage in the literature and press of burnout in healthcare workers (HCW) and ultimate effect on patient care. Burnout of physicians, nurse and other workers is a factor that patients, staff and hospital administrators have to deal with on a daily basis. WPV incidents are less frequent than daily, but have high impact when they occur. WPV prevention has gathered more interest but has a tendency to fall off administrators focus because of the lower frequency factor.
