Abstract
The state and continuous growth of healthcare cannot be ignored, especially with the recent pandemic that has occurred, there is a need to try and make healthcare more accessible while providing value of care, mental health plays a pivotal role in the effective delivery of care. Whether it is a healthcare organization or an institution of higher learning, mental health is being discussed at all levels within an organization and this paper seeks to continue that conversation by providing valuable input to the mental health discussion. This study provides insight into the impact high stress environments like emergency departments have on healthcare professionals. Further analysis also looks at the impact COVID-19 had on healthcare professionals, which played a significant role in bringing attention to frontline healthcare employees and the stressors that need to be addressed. There are numerous studies that discuss the impact of mental health on healthcare professionals but there are not many articles that focus on implementation policies to improve motivation. This research paper utilizes secondary resources to bridge the gap between the numerous mental health studies and the impact work environment improvements have on motivation. Healthcare continues to improve with emerging technologies that seek to revolutionize the way medicine is provided; healthcare professionals need to be motivated to provide effective healthcare.
