Professional burnout and «quiet dismissal» are determined not only by a set of personal factors reflected in job dissatisfaction and the desire to quit, but also by objective systemic problems, including imperfect work organization, lack of qualified personnel and insufficient attention of the management of the medical organization to the psychological well-being of employees. An effective solution to these problems is based on an integrated approach combining traditional methods of improving working conditions and organizing the activities of a medical organization, as well as extensive use of the latest achievements in the field of high technology and artificial intelligence. The introduction of intelligent workflow management systems, automation of routine tasks, the development of personalized training and professional development programs, as well as monitoring the psycho-emotional state of employees can significantly reduce the burden on medical personnel and improve the quality of medical care. Modern technologies make it possible to create adaptive personnel management models that take into account the individual characteristics of each employee, which helps reduce the risk of developing burnout syndrome, the phenomenon of «quiet dismissal» and increase motivation to work.professional burnout, quiet dismissal, mid-level medical workers, nurses, staff turnover, work environment, adaptive models, personnel managementпрофессиональное выгорание, тихое увольнение, медицинские работники среднего звена, медицинские сестры, текучесть кадров, рабочая среда, адаптивные модели, управление персоналомRotenstein L.
