38% Of Physicians Indicate Workplace Quality Is Declining, Per New Survey (Forbes)

A recent survey highlights a significant disconnect between employers and physicians regarding workplace quality. Nearly 38% of physicians reported a decline in workplace quality, with only 16% seeing improvement. Despite this, 82% of respondents believe maintaining a positive culture while meeting patient and market demands is possible. Physician burnout remains a critical issue, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, with nearly 63% experiencing burnout in recent years. Although the AMA reports some improvement, with burnout rates falling below 50%, the situation remains concerning. Technology and cultural changes are necessary to address these challenges and support the healthcare workforce.
