Physicians have three sources of energy to draw upon in practice and their larger life

In this post you will learn:

• The differences in these 3 distinct types of energy
• The symptoms that arise when you are in the negative in any individual account
• How you fill each one to the brim

These simple principles will supercharge your ability to recognize and prevent your own physician burnout.

A member of our network just sent me this quote.

I believe it is meant to be some kind of funny ... or a perhaps is offered up as a twisted "reality check" to those who attempt to have healthy boundaries between work and home and run into this individual who appears to claim Iron Man status.

It is certainly old school and completely unhealthy and just plain wrong. This is the workaholic, superhero, Lone Ranger, perfectionist programming we are all victim to.  

This is the boomer philosophy that makes it impossible to have healthy boundaries and admit to any struggle. This is where Imposter Syndrome begins. I feel like I want to take a shower after I read this. You?

For over 50 years, hundreds of research studies have demonstrated this consistent hierarchy
- Physician Wellness is the Foundation for Physician Engagement and Performance.

The Health, Happiness and Wellbeing of your Physicians and Staff will determine:

⇒ Their levels of Engagement and Satisfaction

⇒ The ease of Recruitment and the amount of Turnover in the patient care teams

⇒ The Quality of their care

⇒ The Quantity of care they can deliver

⇒ The Safety of that care and the number of Medical Errors

⇒ The level of Patient Satisfaction

[ and even the Net Promoter Score if that is what keeps you up at night ]

NOTICE:
PHYSICIAN WELLBEING COMES FIRST 

WELLBEING begets ENGAGEMENT which begets PERFORMANCE
⇒ IN THAT ORDER
