Blackburn, Bart PhD; Chan, Tiffany; Cherot, Elizabeth MD; Freeman, Richard B. PhD; Hu, Xi PhD; Matt, Eric; Rhodes, C. Aubrey PhD.
National Bureau of Economic Research, January 2023. Working Paper 30895.
Key Insights:
- Instead of relying on national averages, calculate the costs of clinician burnout that is specific to your organization, by leveraging existing operational data within your organization.
- Discover higher per-clinician costs by accounting for hidden and long-term impact of burnout, such as productivity on-ramping for replacement clinician.
- Forecast clinician turnover and productivity for the next 12 months with an early warning mechanism.
- A framework to aid dynamic budgeting and resourcing for burnout interventions, aided by precise cost estimates
