Many physicians, clinicians, providers are experiencing fewer returns for all they contribute (years of education, effort, finances, time) to their patients’ well being in their current healthcare positions. Some are even considering moving into other arenas that reward them for their expertise and dedication.
They are experiencing:
- long hours
- excessive administrative paperwork
- being overworked and undervalued
- seeing more patients in less time (volume over value)
- declining reimbursement
- declining autonomy
Doctors, disillusioned with the industry, often do not address their concerns because there is a cost to:
- Admit or simply talk about exhaustion or emotional strain which = red flags with HR or insurance providers.
- Push back against excessive paperwork and bureaucratic inefficiencies which = resistance rather than a legitimate concern.
- Discuss financial pressures = risky even with colleagues
When talking is not allowed, pressure to hold things together builds and there is no way, no where to decompress. Without a confidential space to talk about these serious issues, doctors are at risk for anxiety/depression.
