Transforming Healthcare through Resilience, Innovation, Values and Evidence

The THRIVE Program focuses on supporting and developing the people who deliver and receive care, both here at Duke and beyond.

In order to advance health together, we must continually seek to enhance the patient experience and support a strong work/life integration for our talented and dedicated healthcare team. We must foster an environment of care that celebrates inter-professional and caregiver/patient teamwork.  And we must push the frontiers of our knowledge in each of these disciplines through evidence-based research and  innovation.

The THRIVE program aims to deliver on these goals through education and research. Specifically, we are:

• Conducting research & leading courses on burnout, resilience and well-being
• Conducting research & leading courses on teamwork and communication
• Developing & training healthcare workers on the merits of evidence-based medicine
• Developing & training Duke Health employees to be Peer Messengers to those demonstrating unprofessional behavior.
