Staffing shortages plague the healthcare system nationwide and more medical professionals are leaving the field due to burnout.
Here are five report findings:
- A majority of participants “experienced symptoms that reach the threshold for burnout.”
- Half of physicians said they already have or intend to cut back their clinical hours by June (nearly 27 percent and 24 percent, respectively).
- Of physicians planning to leave the workforce, 14.2 percent said they will “definitely” leave in the next two years while 12.8 percent said it was “likely.”
- About 63 percent of female physicians reported symptoms of burnout, compared to 47 percent of male physicians.
- The most common workplace stressors were increased documentation requirements, a lack of available support staff, time devoted to prior authorization needs, nonmedical administrators overreaching into medical decision-making and resource allocation and turnover of staff.
