RECONN (Reflection | Coping | Connection) aims to move unit and hospital cultures from staying stuck in cynicism, burnout, and isolation towards cultures of safety, meaning, support, and communication. Downstream, longitudinal aims of cultures that can adapt using RECONN include improved thriving, burnout, patient safety, and quality care. RECONN combines tools from several trauma-informed evidence-based treatments into group based, peer-led conversations that are practical, productive, cost-effective, and feasible amidst the time and staffing barriers to engagement. RECONN emerged from a rigorous co-design and implementation science process led by psychologist Andrew J. Smith PHD and funded by the Levy Healthcare Incubator. In this co-design process, Dr. Smith and his interdisciplinary team sought to leverage the collective wisdom that included physicians, nurses, psychologists, social work, biostatistics, chaplains, administrators, and public health experts.
