4 steps hospitals can take to push their physician burnout efforts forward: AMA

While most hospitals recognize physician burnout is a serious problem, many are still in the early stages of addressing it. Here are four steps hospitals can take to push their programs addressing physician burnout further along, according to a July 18 report from the American Medical Association:

Hospitals should have a solid framework and resources in place in order to begin addressing burnout.
Hospitals should begin addressing burnout by measuring it to have a more thorough understanding of providers’ needs.
Hospitals should take a comprehensive approach to addressing burnout, such as focusing on teamwork, peer work and updating electronic health record systems.
Hospitals should designate a leader for provider and staff well-being that can push the hospital’s efforts to address burnout forward.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
