The following study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, examines whether physician burnout is associated with an increased risk of patient safety incidents, suboptimal care outcomes, and lower patient satisfaction. A systematic review was conducted to extract data from existing literature. Out of the case studies analyzed, results found that burnout is associated with 2-fold increased odds for unsafe care, unprofessional behavior, and low patient satisfaction. This was particularly high amongst early level physicians. This points to a need for health care organizations to address physician wellness through systematic interventions.
