Health Evolution: Physician burnout: 5 steps CEOs can take to fix the problem

OBHG’s Dr. Rene Lockey contributed to an article published in Health Evolution about physician burnout. The article, titled Physician burnout: 5 steps CEOs can take to fix the problem, shares recommendations on burnout interventions.

Here is one of Dr. Lockey's quotes from the article (referring to practicing medicine in a traditional environment before she became an OB hospitalist):

 “There is a lot of tolerance for exhaustion. There is an expectation you have to deal with stress by pushing harder and harder. There are a lot of people who are unhappy who are just putting their heads down and doing the work. Unless someone is speaking out about it, [CEOs] may not understand how pervasive the issue is [within their organization],” says Lockey.
