🔥 Annually, healthcare organizations and payers spend nearly $5 billion dollars in costs related to burnout. Primary care physician (PCP) turnover alone leads to an astonishing $979 million in excess healthcare spending. A significant portion of this stems from burnout.
🌍 This increase in patient expenditures just from PCP burnout-related turnover adds $260M (27% of the $979M) yearly in healthcare costs, while the other $4.6B comes from costs incurred by healthcare organizations including reduced productivity from vacant positions and costs associated with replacing physicians. These numbers don't even touch on the ripple effects, like reduced quality of care, increased medical errors, increased malpractice claims, and reduced patient satisfaction.
👩🚒 The good news? Preventing doctor burnout is possible. Through implementing solutions that promote work-life balance, reduce the stigma of seeking mental health support, create mentorship and peer support connections to reduce isolation, and ensure doctors coming to your organization are a good match in the first place, we can create a healthier, more sustainable workforce and maintain access to quality healthcare for patients.
🍇 Ensuring doctors are well-matched to their roles from the start is crucial. This is where Grapevyne steps in. Our "by doctors, for doctors" approach leverages pre-existing, trusted connections to facilitate doctor-to-doctor job sharing, ensuring your organization gets better-matched candidates from the start, ultimately reducing turnover and associated costs.
