Hypothesis
Teams consistently implementing the Playbook practices will experience increased satisfaction and safety climate, as well as reduced burnout and turnover compared to current conditions.
Conclusion
The AIM‐HI initiative aims to improve learning environments and workforce development in rural VA hospitals, potentially enhancing job satisfaction and reducing burnout.
Supporting Evidence
- Rural hospital medicine programs often lack workforce development training.
- Supportive learning environments can lead to higher staff satisfaction and lower burnout.
- The Playbook intervention is based on evidence from VA cardiac catheterization laboratories.
Takeaway
This study is about helping hospital staff in rural areas feel happier and work better together, which can make it easier for them to take care of patients.
Methodology
A type II hybrid implementation study using a convergent mixed methods approach to evaluate the Playbook intervention and implementation strategies.
Potential Biases

Limitations
Voluntary participation may lead to selection bias, and challenges in recruiting participants for surveys.
Participant Demographics
Participants include inpatient physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nursing, social work, pharmacy clinical leaders, and other clinical or leadership staff.
