EHR innovation platforms that complement value-based care models could help address clinician burnout, according to preliminary findings from an American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Innovation Laboratory study.
While clinician burnout is a concern across the healthcare industry, it is especially high among family medicine clinicians. Half of family physicians report one symptom of burnout, according to 2020 research.
“We’re seeing folks decide that maybe medicine or primary care is not right for them any longer, or they’re discouraging colleagues or their children from going into the specialty,” Steven Waldren, MD, MS, AAFP vice president and chief medical informatics officer, told EHRIntelligence in an interview.
