The National Academy of Medicine launched the Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience, a network of more than 60 organizations committed to reversing trends in clinician burnout. The Collaborative has three goals:

1. Improve baseline understanding of challenges to clinician well-being;
2. Raise the visibility of clinician stress and burnout; and
3. Elevate evidence-based, multidisciplinary solutions that will improve patient care by caring for the caregiver. 

The Action Collaborative is composed of five working groups that will identify evidence-based strategies to improve clinician well-being at both the individual and systems levels. Products and activities of these five working groups include an online knowledge hub, a series of NAM perspectives discussion papers, an all-encompassing conceptual model that reflects the domains affecting clinician well-being, and a common set of definitions. The five working groups are:

1. Research, Data, and Metrics
2. Conceptual Model
3. External Factors and Workflow
4. Messaging and Communication
5. Publications and Art Show
