Condenal ResourceAn Introducon to OPHPThe Ohio Physicians Health Program (OPHP) is a nonprot organizaon that provides a compassionate, supporve, and safe environment for healthcare professionals to receive condenal services to improve their health and well-being. Our goal is to inspire physicians and other healthcare professionals to seek treatment and monitoring for their illnesses in order to ensure paent care and safety. OPHP achieves this goal through three primary programs highlighted below. OPHP specializes in providing condenal monitoring and advocacy for qualifying physicians and other healthcare professionals and is the Medical Board approved monitoring organizaon, authorized to conduct Ohio’s One-Bite Program. OPHP also provides monitoring and advocacy to healthcare professionals who have disciplinary acon with licensing agencies. OPHP recognizes the value and importance of keeping healthcare professionals healthy in order to provide quality paent care.Monitoring & AdvocacyEducaonal OutreachOPHP provides educaonal presentaons to individuals or groups throughout Ohio. Presentaons are delivered on mental, emoonal and behavioral illness and substance-related and addicve disorders. Programs also cover the topics of stress, burnout, and suicide; statutory guidelines for medical professionals seeking treatment; and the role of OPHP in the healthcare community. Presentaons meet the criteria for connuing medical educaon credit.

OPHP NEWSLETTER | 3Physician Burnout. Such a buzz word these days. Lots of classes to help you become resilient. To know the signs. Finally, a problem being addressed. Or is it? There sll seems to be some doubt about physician burnout being real. We talk a lot about how to prevent physician burnout, which is wonderful, but what do we do with a physician who is already burnt out?I was a praccing gynecologist for over 20 years when I began to suer from signs of burnout. I didn’t recognize them. I am, by nature, a very happy and opmisc person. I have loved being a physician my enre career. I love paents and paent care. I loved every aspect of my job, but I was struggling. I was sad, crying a lot. I thought it was grief over the death of a beloved friend. Or just being red. Or menopause. My physician director came to me and told me she thought I was burnt out and I should take some me o. Of course I refused. I insisted I wasn’t burnt out. We agreed to freeze my schedule and see how the next few months went. They did not go well. I became impaent and short tempered. I would be listening to a paent’s complaints and in my head I just wanted them to stop talking, and it was geng worse. Luckily, I aended a medical conference and went to a lecture about burnout. As I sat in the lecture listening to resident physicians discuss their experiences with burnout, I realized I had every single symptom they were discussing. I cried through the enre lecture. It rocked me to my core. I started searching for advice on what to do, but I could not nd anything about treatment for burnout. I called the physician director who advised me o to rest. I stopped working for two months. It helped. I felt rested. No more anger. No more impaence. I didn’t feel frustrated or mad. The only anxiety I had was being anxious to get back to work. I missed seeing paents and sta. I missed being in the operang room. I missed my colleagues. I went back to work with a shortened schedule to help prevent burnout. THIS WAS THE ONLY THING ANYONE KNEW TO DO TO HELP ME. The rst month back was great. Second month, I was cruising along and feeling great. I loved the shortened schedule. Days were long but I worked less of them so weekends were so nice. By the third month back, fague was seng in again. By the fourth month I knew something was wrong. I was feeling depressed, but I convinced myself I just needed a vacaon. All this me, I was meeng regularly with the director weekly. I was told over and over that no treatment was available except lightening the load and resng. I took a vacaon and it didn’t help. The depression worsened, I was feeling desperate. I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO GO TO FOR HELP. I could feel myself spiraling out of control. It was dierent than what I had experienced before. The depression was worsening rapidly. I spent all my me away from work crying. I was withdrawing from everyone around me. Finally, I was at a medical sta meeng and the Ohio Physicians Health Program (OPHP) was brought up. There was a discussion about donang money. A physician I didn’t really know menoned how important it was for us to support OPHP especially in light of physician burnout. I grasped onto that statement as a lifeline. I am so thankful to that physician and for that moment-for while what he said was just a general statement to the room for me it was a light. It was the rst me I felt I had a place to turn to. I knew of OPHP because early in my career I sat on a Physician Wellness board. I reviewed cases of physician problems and helped those physicians get the help they needed. The Ohio Physicians Health Program was a great resource for me and for our physicians. How had I not thought of this? But more than that, how had the hospital or the director not known to contact OPHP? I called OPHP and they scheduled an appointment for me to come in and do an evaluaon. From the moment I made the phone call, things changed. OPHP reached out to me almost daily by phone or by text. I was greeted with understanding and kindness. I no longer felt alone. By the me I went in for my evaluaon, I knew I was in good hands. I was condent that I would be helped. I was diagnosed as severely depressed with moderate anxiety. OPHP spent 4 hours with me that day. I was so relieved. For the rst me in a very long me I felt hopeful. I felt I could get beer. I felt I could get back to myself. One of the best things that happened that rst day was making a commitment. I commied to following the OPHP program for 2 years. This was important because, just like every other paent, I wanted an instant x, to snap my ngers and feel beer. The two year commitment made me realize that this was a long road ahead.I have now been involved with OPHP for 10 months. OPHP designed care for me that included nding a psychiatrist and psychologist near me as well as connued meengs with a counselor from OPHP. I was given books to read that helped me focus on mental and emoonal strength. My depression is controlled. I have no anxiety and I am so happy, but I have rered from medicine. There did not seem to be a road back to praccing again, but only because my burn out was not treated soon enough. If I had contacted OPHP sooner, I think I would sll be praccing medicine.Physician Burnout is real. I wanted to write my tesmonial to help get the word out. There IS help available. If you are a physician or know a physician who is struggling, please, refer to OPHP. OPHP will evaluate the physician and design a program to help. Don’t wait unl the burnout has taken away the career you love or the life you live. OPHP saved my life and I am so very, very grateful.Anonymous PhysicianRecovering from Physician Burnout I loved every aspect of my job, but I was strugglingPhysician Burnout is real.

4 | OPHP NEWSLETTERAs the Wellness Director for OPHP, I want to thank each of you for the hard work you are doing during this challenging me, whether on the front lines or virtually. Helping others is our calling and provides intrinsic rewards, though our work can be dicult as we may experience anxiety, fear, frustraon, guilt, grief, depression and exhauson. During these mes of stress and unease, it has never been more important to take care of ourselves in order to sustain well-being. Dr. Robert Sapolsky, the well-known researcher on stress and author of “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers,” states that stress comes from things we cannot predict and/or cannot control, and chronic stress negavely impacts our immune system making us more vulnerable to geng sick. This is clearly a me of uncertainty and unpredictability for all of us. The one thing we can control is how we take care of ourselves. We must pracce self-care and encourage those around us to do the same in order to sustain the ability to care for those in need.Strategies for Sustaining Wellbeing:• Meet your basic needs:• Walk outside daily for 20-30 minutes• Get adequate sleep (7-9 hours)• Eat lots of brightly colored fruits and vegetables, legumes, seeds and nuts, probiocs such as plain Greek yogurt, herbs and spices (garlic, turmeric, cumin, ginger, cinnamon), green tea and dark chocolate• Take breaks:• Give yourself a rest from your daily work by doing something you enjoy recognizing that this rest will energize you to return to your work. Listen to music, read a book, call a friend, enjoy a cup of tea• Laugh and keep your sense of humor.• Maintain a posive atude:• Do the Three Good Things exercise developed by Dr. Marn Seligman, father of Posive Psychology. Write down three things that went well during your day and your role in it. Do this before bedme• Connect with colleagues:• Talk to your colleagues and receive support from one another. Infecous outbreaks can isolate people in fear and anxiety. Tell your story and listen to others’• Connect with family:• Family can be an anchor of support outside the healthcare system• Call, text, email, write leers, FaceTime. • Limit your exposure to social media:• Worrisome messages and graphic imagery will increase your level of stress and may reduce your eecveness and overall well-being• Breathe when you are feeling anxious:• Breathe in through your nose for the count of 6, hold for the count of 2, breath out for the count of 6, hold for the count of 2. Hold your hand on your belly to ensure you are breathing diaphragmacally. Repeat as needed• Reward yourself and honor your service:• Remind yourself that despite obstacles or frustraons, you are fullling a noble calling, taking care of those most in need.• Treat yourself to something that makes you happy• Do self-check-ins:• Monitor yourself for symptoms of anxiety, a stress disorder or depression; prolonged sadness, diculty sleeping, feelings of hopelessness, intrusive memories, and suicidal thoughts• Talk to a peer or supervisor and seek professional help if neededOPHP is taking acve steps to support Ohio’s healthcare professionals with respect to Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The One-Bite Program is available to all of the healthcare professionals licensed by the State Medical Board of Ohio eecve January 31, 2019. This condenal program allows an eligible praconer who seeks treatment for a substance use disorder to avoid formal disciplinary acon by the Medical Board so long as they parcipate in treatment and monitoring condions. In order to be eligible for the condenal One-Bite Program, praconers must meet all of the following criteria:1. Be diagnosed with substance use disorder2. Be a rst-me parcipant in the program3.

OPHP has been selected by the State as the monitoring organizaon responsible for determining eligibility and for conducng the One-Bite Program. OPHP is not allowed by law to disclose the names and records of praconers parcipang in the One-Bite Program unless certain condions exist.
