Focused on Physician Well Being

[Gavin Preston, M.D. @GavinPrestonMD]

50% of US doctors burntout; 25% of resident doctors depressed. We cannot solve this problem until we get docs back with patients--the reason we went into #medicine--and spending <2/3 of our time with the #EHR and admin.

I am a paediatrician. I look after sick kids.

I am also a patient. A mental health patient.
Yesterday I had therapy.
Every week I have therapy.

I am speaking out, because no one should feel alone.

Drs are human too. Let’s get that message out.

[Jess Morgan @drjessmorgan_]

I used to think my career as a doctor was everything.

It turns out I was wrong.

My health and my family take priority.

Self care is as important as patient care.

"...empathy is beneficial to physicians; it has been demonstrated that doctors who are more attuned to the psychosocial needs of their patients are less likely to experience burnout."

"Once you understand that engagement and burnout are opposite ends of the same continuum you understand that engagement demands the Creative Destruction of Burnout. This also the key to hard wiring the Quadruple Aim into your organization."

#Empathy in #Medicine is not an option, but a requirement. We need to emphasize #humanity in taking care of our fellow humans, in taking care of each other.

[Physician Wellness @PhysWellness]

Physician wellness happens when physicians are actively involved in creating healthier workplaces. It cannot come from an outsider. Physicians must be leaders of the solutions. #physicianwellness

"Physical Energy – your basic “get up and go”
Emotional Energy – your ability to be emotionally available and compassionate
Spiritual Energy – your connection to your Purpose in your work … Your “WHY” "

"Actions will always speak louder than words, so make your actions speak wonders to your physicians as a way to develop a relationship of trust. Once you have their trust, you’ll get their buy-in..." https://t.co/OW4eYPu2ki

Our physicians are losing their passion for medicine. What are something's that you all do to keep that passion alive? #burnout #wellbeing #physicianwellness

[Medscape @Medscape]

70% of physicians would tell their loved ones to steer clear of the medical profession. https://t.co/1dcCsKWKuK

[PWB @PWB21725164]

As a health care industry we must treat our physicians as partners not customers.

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

Physicians should have a major role in health care reform. No health care system can flourish without widespread physician support. https://t.co/sLi2ecnGTi

The future of healthcare is grounded firmly on love and compassion. For both the healer and the patient. #wellbeing #compassion

[Gavin Preston, M.D. @GavinPrestonMD]

We need to admit students who have #compassion. While we can teach comm skills, we can never teach doctors real caring. #Meded #Ethics

[PWB @PWB21725164]

Our understanding of self and others depend greatly on knowing that we are all connected because we share the same longing to be acknowledged and accepted, to be loved and desired.

What is physician engagement and are we in the healthcare industry defining it correctly?
