Peak Performance Starts With Positive Intelligence

Work-related stress is at an all-time high for healthcare professionals — and the resulting burnout is causing an exodus from the profession. Work-related stress negatively impacts healthcare worker efficiency, quality of care, and overall quality of life. It affects the bottom line, too. The American Medical Association attributes nearly $1 billion in annual excess healthcare costs to physician turnover each year.

There’s no question that systemic changes are needed to reduce the burden on healthcare professionals in this post-pandemic world. But what can be done today to mitigate burnout and protect the well-being of healthcare professionals?

Welcome to Positive Intelligence®, the leading mental fitness solution for the healthcare industry. Our PQ Program is a proven neuroscience-based approach to mental fitness. It helps individuals and teams to intercept sabotaging thought patterns and generate a positive mindset. Positive Intelligence provides tools to help healthcare professionals and teams meet daily demands and improve well-being with applied mental fitness training.

  • 62% of U.S. physicians and 49% of European physicians are concerned about staffing shortages in their hospitals or clinics.²

  • One fifth of U.S. doctors and one fourth of European doctors have considered leaving the profession in the past year.²

  • U.S. hospitals that implement burnout reduction programs report spending 30% less on burnout attributed turnover costs.³

Positive Intelligence Is the Gateway to Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

Discouraged healthcare professionals are vulnerable to adopting a negative mindset that actively sabotages their performance. Studies show that healthcare professionals with higher EQ are better able to moderate the impact of negative emotions, and as a result, are less vulnerable to burnout.

The PQ Program represents a breakthrough in the ability to raise EQ across an organization. Our factor analysis research dramatically simplifies the process of building EQ by identifying the root-level building blocks of EQ. In the Positive Intelligence program, 17 out of 18 EQ competencies are automatically developed through intercepting negative thought patterns and activating the self-command center of the brain.

Strengthening these habit-forming muscles leads to lasting positive change for program participants.*

Mental Fitness Matters in Healthcare

Healthcare professionals who strengthen their EQ competencies through mental fitness training are better able to handle the challenges that come their way including:

  • Saboteur-Impact-on-Stress

    Burnout caused by long hours, excessive workloads, and inadequate breaks

  • Saboteur Origin

    Discouragement due to lack of support, absenteeism, and high turnover

  • Restless

    Decreased productivity due to high stress levels

  • The PQ Program has provided additional skills to utilize in my relationships at work and at home. The healthcare industry has changed significantly since I first entered the profession 38 years ago. Providers have less control over how and when we take care of our patients and we are juggling meeting the patient’s presenting problem, administrative documentation, and plan of care for the visit. I’m using the skills I’ve learned and practiced in this program to help me navigate through my profession and relationships in a manner that improves my quality of life.
