## **The Business Case for Investing in Physician Wellbeing - a Triple Competitive Advantage for Early Adopters**

In 2017 an article in JAMA Internal Medicine by Shanafelt, Goh and Sinsky (JAMA Intern Med. 2017;177(12):1826-1832) made a comprehensive business case for investing in physician well-being. I highly recommend the article. The UCSD HEAR Program has mounted the full PDF document [at this link](https://medschool.ucsd.edu/som/hear/resources/Documents/jamainternal_Shanafelt_2017_sc_170009.pdf). I recommend you read and absorb every word - and notice your frustration when there are [no action steps](https://support.thehappymd.com/physician-engagement-formula-consult-request).

In this blog post let me show you a different way of looking at the benefits to the organization when you take better care of your physicians and staff. 

**An effective burnout prevention / physician wellbeing program will provide a rapid, direct and measurable - *Triple Competitive Advantage* - to Your Organization. **
