The survey found that 92% of health care leaders say workforce shortages are having a "profound impact on staff well-being, work-life balance, morale, and mental health," and 81% say those shortages have a negative impact on patient care, per Fortune.

The US is expected to face a shortage of as many as 86,000 clinicians by 2036, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
