JHM Interprofessional Well-Being Survey
The Johns Hopkins Medicine Interprofessional Well-being Survey (IPWS) is designed for both operational continuous quality improvement purposes and research.
Our goal is to learn from clinicians across Johns Hopkins about the factors influencing well-being at work.
About the Survey
In order to measure the well-being of our clinicians and researchers, the JHM Office of Well-Being administers the Interprofessional Well-being Survey (IPWS).
The IPWS is administered every 2 years. This enables us to view longitudinal trends and gauge progress on making Hopkins a better place to work.
The IPWS findings are used to develop workplace well-being programs and assess the impact of these programs at Johns Hopkins. Findings inform institutional strategy and operational actions to create efficiencies in practice, build a culture of wellness, support well-being efforts, and contribute to research on well-being.
Thank you for your participation and insights into how we can support you.

There is a national movement to address clinician well-being, professional fulfillment, and to restore joy and meaning in work. We want to measure this in our own clinicians to make work better for you.
The IPWS will inform systems-level change in clinical practice and identify barriers to professional fulfillment, and meaningful work. It is designed for both operational, continuous quality improvement purposes and research. Your feedback will contribute to the development of evidence-based practices for clinician well-being. Your participation in this study will enable benchmarking on this critical issue.
-
The survey looks at professional fulfillment and burnout, as well as the drivers of well-being i.e. efficiency of practice, organizational leadership, peer support, belonging and work-life balance. The themes are specific to well-being and are not asked in other employee surveys including the Johns Hopkins Medicine Employee Experience, Safety Culture and Nursing Excellence Survey. Rather, the IPWS takes a deeper dive on the feedback provided on GLINT and/or Faculty Satisfaction Surveys.

The survey is administered to groups of clinicians and researchers in our healthcare workforce in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Health System. Currently, we are surveying:
- Physicians
- Advanced Practice Providers
- Nurses
- Pharmacists
- PT/OT/Speech/Respiratory Therapists
- SOM Research-only Faculty
In recognition of our team-based work flows, we hope to continue to add groups of clinicians to the survey population in subsequent years.
-
Survey results will be shared with your department leaders during the summer of 2025. In the fall, we plan to meet with departments and JH entities to discuss action plans to support your team’s well-being. We are excited to support this work, learn from your experience and creativity, and consider how your ideas can be shared with colleagues across JHM.
