Burnout and Staff Turnover—A Double-Edged Sword for Healthcare Providers

The Growing Healthcare Burnout Crisis

Healthcare burnout is reaching critical levels, fueling staff shortages and high turnover rates. According to the 2023 Medscape Physician Burnout Report, 63% of physicians and 80% of nurses report burnout, leading to:
✔ Increased
staff resignations and provider shortages
✔ Longer
patient wait times and reduced care quality
✔ Greater
operational costs for practices struggling to stay afloat

How Administrative Burdens Fuel Burnout

One of the biggest contributors to healthcare worker burnout is excessive paperwork and documentation requirements. Studies show that:
16+ hours per week are spent on administrative tasks instead of patient care
Increased stress leads to lower job satisfaction and more resignations
Small practices struggle the most, as losing just one staff member can disrupt workflows
