Webinar: Making Healthcare Safer by Design

https://www.ahrq.gov/action-alliance/webinars/healthcare-safer-by-design.html Data Feature: Data on Physician Burnout and Work-Life Balance The National Action Alliance’s July 2024 webinar highlighted a Mayo Clinic study of a survey involving 2,440 U.S. physicians, to evaluate burnout and work-life integration (WLI) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey used standard instruments to assess burnout, WLI, depression, and professional fulfillment, comparing results to previous years. The Mayo Clinic study revealed a sharp increase in physician burnout and a decline in WLI during the first two years of COVID-19. These data underscore the urgent need for interventions to address physician well-being, which is vital for maintaining quality patient care and reducing turnover in the healthcare system.
