Researchers will compare clinicians working primarily in Home Hospital settings with clinicians working primarily in brick-and-mortar hospitals to assess differences in burnout, workplace safety, and work experience.

Eligibility criteria:
Exclusion criteria:
- None
Mini Z Burnout Score
Burnout will be assessed using the single-item burnout measure from the Mini Z. Responses range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater burnout.
Time frame: Baseline (at time of survey completion; single time point)
% reporting physical or verbal violence at work
Percentage of participants who report ever experiencing physical or verbal violence while working in their particular unit. Participants will indicate whether they have experienced physical violence, verbal violence, or both in that unit. The outcome will be reported as the percentage of participants reporting any physical or verbal violence, with a higher percentage indicating a worse outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (at time of survey completion; single time point)
Net promoter score
Net Promoter Score measures participants' likelihood of recommending the program or service. Participants rate their likelihood of recommending it from 0 (not at all likely) to 10 (extremely likely). Respondents are classified as detractors (0-6), passives (7-8), or promoters (9-10). Net Promoter Score is calculated as the percentage of promoters minus the percentage of detractors and ranges from -100 to 100. Higher scores indicate a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (at time of survey completion; single time point)
