New Resource Developed To Help Address Burnout in Primary Care
AHRQ has developed a new resource, Burnout in Primary Care—Assessing and Addressing It in Your Practice (1.6 MB), to help primary care teams identify root causes of burnout and implement strategies to re-establish well-being in their practices. Burnout is serious and a growing problem in primary care, and the COVID-19 pandemic has compounded stresses faced by primary care teams. Increasing burnout has been associated with increased staff turnover, reduced quality of care and compromised patient safety. AHRQ’s new resources provides information on:
- Selecting the right tool to assess staff burnout.
- Implementing effective strategies to address burnout that can be tailored to fit practices’ needs.
- Additional resources on burnout from organizations such as the National Academy of Medicine and the American Medical Association.
