Elements of team-based care in a patient-centered medical home are associated with lower burnout among VA primary care employees

Many protective factors from burnout are characteristics of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) models. In May 2012, 4,539 VA primary care personnel completed a web-based, cross-sectional survey to determine if components of PCMH related to team-based care were associated with lower burnout among primary care team members. Overall, 39% of respondents reported burnout. Lower burnout may be achieved by medical home models that are appropriately staffed, emphasize participatory decision making, and increase the proportion of time team members spend working to the top of their competency level.
