Worth the time to make reducing healthcare burnout part of any systematic change “An existential crisis, burnout affects nearly two-thirds of physicians and increases health care costs. Burnout decreases quality of care1 through effects on patient safety and satisfaction, physician turnover, and reduced productivity. Although the causes are multifactorial, administrative burdens from poorly designed systems and ineffective regulatory policies are central to clinician frustration, with time-motion studies demonstrating that physicians now spend less than 15% of their day in direct patient contact.2 Representing most US physicians, employed physicians face an externalization of the locus of control over the clinical practice environment and loss of autonomy. In this Viewpoint, we explore a critical source of administrative burden and physician frustration, the explosive growth of health care quality metrics, and how improving these metrics could combat clinician burnout”

An NHS director committed to high quality care, ensuring effective system working and the best use of resources at all times. Member of RCN Nurses in Management and Leadership Forum Committee #RCNNMLF
Well who would have guessed it? An ongoing relationship between a GP and their patient leads to more effective care and healthcare resource utilisation. I didn't need to guess it.....barbara starfield published evidence demonstrating the importance of General Practice to the NHS circa twenty years ago. She also published the Starfield Model that explictly drew the relationship between accessibility, quality capacity and total cost of care. In the intervening period, work to reform General Practice started. QOF materially impacted on public health and primary prevention, creating the building blocks for population health management. Then things lost their way and General Practice has been devalued by medicine, policy and politicians with an over emphasis on hospital care and the creation of practice chains. Now, we have a report confirming what many of us already knew! Giving a highly educated and experienced generalist time with a patient and the opportunity to follow up, leads to improved care experience, better outcomes and more effective resource utilisation. Now for some evidence based policy making!

I love the callout this article makes about patients experiencing burnout due to the strained healthcare system, especially when it comes to timely scheduling and how much time patients get to spend with their providers. We know provider burnout is a problem, but it's an interesting dynamic that can also cause the same symptoms in our patient populations. Good perspective for healthcare organizations to consider!

Healthcare Transformation Executive, proficient in P&L management, client relationships, business development, operations, strategic leadership, technology integration, and driving innovation in complex organizations.
It continually humbles me to work with health system leaders, physicians, and caregivers who have to not only pivot to changes in clinical care advancements but anticipate legislative and payment adjustments across all sites of care. All of this while running the business of healthcare that on a good day produces single digit margins. S&P Global suggests hospitals and health systems should set target margins at 2.4% or better to be successful. We can debate the 'why' of health system margins, but the 'how' is still challenging.

📌 “Policymakers have numerous opportunities to better engage specialists in a true team-based care approach. Successful implementation of bundled payments and other VBC models requires building infrastructure, and individual physicians cannot alone make a successful model without the appropriate opportunities, support, and incentives. 📌New models should also include features that appeal to providers and patients across specialties—for example, by improving outcome assessments via targeted measures developed by those specialties in registries or other avenues. 📌Future policy should prioritize developing VBC models across the continuum of care, not only narrow fragments of it, focusing on the interface between primary and specialty care while promoting equity through increased opportunities for participation and improved design” Debra R Winberg, Matthew C Baker, Xiaochu Hu, Keith A Horvath, Who participates in value-based care models?
