Physician burnout is at its lowest level since the pandemic as 48.2% of physicians claimed to have at least one burnout symptom in 2023. Yet, burnout is still a very pricy problem for Americans. It costs us on a conservative base-case level nearly $4.6 billion a year from physician burnout alone. The American Medical Association estimates it costs a facility as much as $1 million depending on the doctor’s specialty. Healthtech companies like Ribbon Health and Health Note are leveraging tech and AI to reduce physician burnout!

"While physician burnout and other forms of occupational distress are long-standing problems, they were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. And despite calls from the AMA, National Academy of Medicine and the U.S. surgeon general for organizational action to address burnout, most hospitals and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) have not made this a strategic priority, according to a study published in The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety." AdviNOW Medical leverages the power of #artificialintelligence in healthcare to not only reduce physician burnout, but drive revenue, cut costs, and most importantly, lead to better #patientsatisfaction and care.

This post is not intended to get sympathy for physicians, rather my attempt to inform the public on the reason doctor burnout has become so prevalent I've had countless discussions with physicians from diverse backgrounds—those in major health systems, and private care doctors alike. In my opinion, there are really three major factors contributing to physician burnout that we urgently need to address. Firstly, the lack of control is profoundly demoralizing. After spending nearly half of our lives in rigorous study, the feeling that we no longer have a significant say in our practices is hard to accept. This loss of autonomy makes it difficult for physicians to find satisfaction in their work. Certainly within our company we have set up things in an extremely physician friendly way but this is so difficult to find in most practices. Secondly, the overwhelming number of mundane tasks that we face daily detracts from our core responsibilities. These tasks, while necessary, lead to task-switching that prevents us from entering the 'flow' states essential for high-quality work and personal satisfaction. Thirdly, inefficient processes pervade our work environments. Whether in clinics, hospitals, or surgery centers, these inefficiencies lead to unnecessarily long hours which harm our mental health and overall well-being. On top of these systemic issues, the emotional toll of dealing with very sick patients and their families adds another layer of stress. This combination not only leads to burnout but also to an unacceptably high rate of suicidal thoughts and even suicide among physicians. This message isn't about seeking sympathy but about raising awareness and finding solutions. We need to make systemic changes to ensure that physicians can focus on what's most important—caring for you and your families. Let's open a dialogue on how we can make these changes. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.

Burnout in healthcare in the American Journal of Gastroenterology (AJG) The recent publication „How I Approach It” in the Red Section of AJG by Lacy et al. sheds light on the alarming rise of burnout among healthcare professionals, particularly in the field of gastroenterology. Burnout, a term coined by psychologist Herbert Freudenberger in 1974, is now recognized as an epidemic in the medical community. Key highlights: Three Core Components: Mental/emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a decreased sense of personal accomplishment. Risk Factors: Attributes like perfectionism, selflessness, and intense dedication often seen in healthcare providers predispose them to burnout. Measurement: The 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and a simplified 2-question survey effectively gauge burnout levels. The implications are significant: burnout compromises patient care, escalates healthcare costs, diminishes provider well-being, and leads to higher job turnover. Addressing this crisis is crucial for maintaining a healthy, efficient, and compassionate healthcare environment. Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/dHMGrWGs
