Physicians' real problem isn't burnout

"Let's ask which elements of our system support this and promote and enhance those elements. If anything takes time or focus away from the main principle, let's remove or replace it. Whether it's the EMR, payment models, prior authorizations, or even automated phone systems, let's rethink things so the two main people — the patient and the physician — are supported, and excellent care is allowed to be delivered with compassion, care, and time. Only then will we truly heal what ails us."

Reeta Achari is a neurologist.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "The physician's real problem isn't burnout."

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients.

At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
