Joy in medical practice: clinician satisfaction in the Healthy Work Place trial.

Linzer M, Sinsky CA, Poplau S, Brown R, Williams E; Healthy Work Place Investigators. Health Aff (Millwood). 2017;36:1808-1814.

Clinician burnout is a pressing patient safety issue. This pre–post study found that improving clinicians' work conditions (e.g., chaos, communication, values alignment, and cohesion) led to a subsequent reduction in burnout and increased likelihood of remaining in their medical practices. The findings suggest that clinicians' satisfaction can be improved by addressing workplace conditions.
