A Human-Centered Physician Journey.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented strain on global health systems, and the ability to safely and effectively deliver care. Further, it has impacted the mental health of global populations, in particular healthcare providers (i.e., physicians, nurses). In a service delivery context, much can be learned about empathy both from a provider and patient lens. Thus, the literature was explored to see if the concept of journey mapping was used to illustrate the intersections and pain points of the clinical workflow along the physician journey.
