Physician Burnout: The Hidden Health Care Crisis.
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2018 March
Physician burnout is an under-recognized and under-reported problem. Characterized by a state of mental exhaustion, depersonalization, and a decreased sense of personal accomplishment, burnout may affect more than 60% of family practice providers and at least one third of gastroenterologists. Some studies have shown that younger physicians, physicians performing high-risk procedures, and physicians experiencing work-life conflicts are at greatest risk. If unrecognized, the costs to the physician and to the health care system can be enormous because physician burnout is associated with increased rates of depression, alcohol and drug abuse, divorce, suicide, medical errors, difficult relationships with coworkers, and patient dissatisfaction, as well as physician attrition. If properly recognized, appropriate treatments are available. This article presents a case study of a physician suffering from burnout, reviews how burnout is defined, identifies those providers at greatest risk, discusses root causes, and outlines a treatment program.
