The AMA has identified addressing the driving forces behind burnout as one of the key methods to making physicians feel more valued in the workplace, in turn increasing retention.
Here are three strategies the AMA has identified as ways to address burnout among physicians and encourage them to stay in their positions:
- Practices and organizations should be smart with their use of technology, including introducing new technology to reduce the burden of electronic health records.
- Practices and organizations should focus on supporting physicians in their jobs, which the AMA describes as “letting doctors be doctors.”
- Practices and organizations should encourage teamwork to alleviate additional pressure on physicians.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
