Healthcare accessibility and practitioner well-being addressed across Europe

Healthcare accessibility and practitioner well-being addressed across Europe

Equinix and Aurora Innovation, a vendor of communication services and solutions for healthcare providers, have announced a collaboration to expand Aurora Innovation’s capabilities across Europe. Focusing on improving patient access to healthcare services and working environments for healthcare practitioners, the companies are utilising digital services to expand the availability of Aurora teleQ – a service that automates the communication flow between patients and healthcare providers, making everyday life easier for both healthcare professionals and patients.

According to WHO, stress could account for 10 million health workers leaving the profession by 2030. However, better scheduling and a reduced administrative burden could help to reduce stress and associated burnout, lowering the dropout rate from these essential roles.

“The importance of well-being at work is now more evident than ever,” said Hebe Boonzaaijer, Global Wellbeing Director at Equinix. “Well-being is a critical differentiator, enabling companies across sectors to better retain and engage talent. For people to thrive, organisations need to offer well-being programmes and services tailored to the needs of critical work groups, while at the same time weaving well-being into the work itself through meeting norms, workspace and culture interventions.

“At Equinix, we are committed to growing a culture of well-being and are delighted to support Aurora Innovation in its quest to improve the well-being of healthcare practitioners, so it can do its best work and have an enjoyable, productive worker experience.”
