On October 23, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) released its timely report “Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being.” I was pleased to offer comments for the Heartland Institute Health Care News article below: “This report is a timely and important step in addressing an essential challenge in contemporary health care delivery. We have done an inadequate job of adapting training, workplace environments, management skills, and organizational cultures to accommodate the changed professional and employment status of our highly trained and dedicated physician workforce within what is now a heavily regulated, government-dominated health care system. The bottom line is most physicians are now employees and have lost control over their work environments and daily activities. More than hours or the difficulty of the work, this feeling of lack of control or powerlessness is an essential element of the enhanced stress that directly leads to burnout.” https://www.heartland.org/news-opinion/news/physicians-offer-solutions-for-clinician-burnout
