 A recent study by the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) revealed that physician burnout on a national scale is increasing the frequency of premature retirement and attrition rates. “Effective solutions should target continued research and collective accountability at both individual physician and HCO levels with an amalgam of authentic, servant, and transformational leadership to fulfill healthcare’s mission as articulated by the Institute of Medicine in providing ‘safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable,’ patient care while meeting the needs of all other stakeholders,” wrote Dr. Anish Bhardwaj, chair of the Department of Neurology at UTMB.
