What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a practical method for healthcare systems to reduce staff burnout and improve retention.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study in one VA region, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention is complex and depends on local buy-in, which may limit its impact.
