“The burnout epidemic in physicians is a completely predictable result of their medical training and the generally accepted definition of “success” amongst doctors. AND it is both a preventable and treatable condition.” “These days the physicians are often the canary in the coal mine of medicine and that has to change. The most successful healthcare organizations in the years ahead will be those who take excellent care of their providers and staff. These hospitals and groups will understand that physician satisfaction is the only true foundation for consistent patient satisfaction.”
