Description
Summary:Physician burnout has a negative impact on patient care, productivity and job retention, whereas the cost of recruiting and replacing burned-out physicians can be steep (1). The current health care environment places strong emphasis on accomplishing the triple aim: improving population health and enhancing patient experience while reducing overall costs; however, absence of clinician well-being has a negative impact on achievement of these aims. Accordingly, many have called for modification of health care goals to include clinician well-being, thereby expanding to a “quadruple aim”(2). To date, there has been highly variable uptake of the quadruple aim's call to action with inconsistent efforts to address well-being across institutions.
