Ep. 35 The Truth Behind Clinician Burnout

Medical Advantage Podcast

In many industries, the prevailing advice for burnout is to take time off or take more breaks. For many clinicians, suggestions like these indicate a lack of understanding of why healthcare professionals end up with burnout. Within days of coming back from a vacation, the provider will go right back into thoughts of quitting. Within minutes of driving home from the office, the provider will realize they could have left on time if they didn't take a lunch break.
In this podcast, we put in the spotlight the broad-ranging impact burnout has on all levels of care beyond clinicians themselves. The clinician's family, patients, support staff, managers, and sometimes even the executives can feel the detrimental effects of a provider's burnout. We also explain why more technology isn't likely to help, but why a "practice redesign" is.
Host Celina DeFigueiredo-Dusseau and Vice President of Growth Chad Anguilm have a frank discussion about the state of burnout, its primary causes, and how some proposed solutions are more feasible than others. They also talk about what clinicians are thinking and feeling while on the road to burnout.
