This was a really impactful graphic that seemed perfect for a Friday post on Physician Burnout:

Thanks Rasu for sharing it.
Here’s the list of physician burnout items for those following along at home:
- Patient Generated Data
- Quality Metrics
- Other Health Professionals
- Telemedicine
- Lack of Genomic Knowledge
- Reimbursement
- Retail Based Clinics
- EHR Frustration
- Transparency Office Notes
- Algorithms
- Super and Cloud Computing
- Scorecards
- Online Health Social Networks
- Patient Satisfaction
- Online Reviews; Getting Yelped
- Relative Value Units
Was there something left off the list? Do we really need to add any more to the list to understand why physicians are getting burnt out? Do you see any relief on the horizon?
Don’t forget:
Auditing from HIPAA to MU to MACRA forever
MOC
CME
Constant Regulatory Changes (i.e. MACRA/MIPS/ACI/CPI, etc)
Making physicians unit secretaries entering orders, coders, IT specialists, data entry clerks
ICD-10 apparently going to get worse (where are all those benefits again?)
Should I keep going?
