Surgeon General Addresses Healthcare Worker Burnout

Picture
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a landmark report on healthcare worker burnout in Spring 2022. In it, several strategies and tactics are outlined to create pervasive medical cultural change.
The realities of our health care system are driving many health workers to burnout. They are at an increased risk for mental health challenges and choosing to leave the health workforce early. They work in distressing environments that strain their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. This will make it harder for patients to get care when they need it. - US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, MD
