Where Physician Burnout and Value-Based Care Intersect
This series explores legal issues related to physician burnout and potential solutions, and here we explore the potential impact of value-based care (“VBC”). Our first post addressed how healthcare organizations can foster the psychological safety and emotional well-being of their physicians. Our second post discussed artificial intelligence solutions as a potential way to attract, support and retain overwhelmed clinicians. Here, we explore how VBC can promote physician satisfaction and physician wellness by:
- Streamlining clinical pathways to simplify physician decision-making,
- Improving chronic disease management programs by enhancing patient communications and employing non-physician providers to support proactive patient care strategies; and
- Transition appropriate clinical and care management responsibilities from physicians to other members of the healthcare team, such as clinical pharmacists and case managers.
