Researchers at Minneapolis, Minn.-based Allina Health followed 96 providers in eight primary care clinics, surveying participants three, six and 12 months into the study period. Burnout was measured with the Maslach Burnout inventory, which measures feelings of exhaustion, cynicism and self-efficacy.
Results showed an insignificant difference in physician burnout between a traditional model of care with physicians and assistants in a one-to-one ratio (30 percent burnout), and a team-based model of care with physicians and assistants in a two-to-three ratio (35 percent burnout), according to the report.
