The great challenge for healthcare administrators is to develop effective physician retention programs that reduce turnover, increase physician engagement, mitigate burnout, and contribute to a positive workplace culture. The speaker’s organization surveyed physicians and administrators at the end of 2020 to better understand their views on these issues. The results suggest that administrators are attempting to address them, but many physicians are unaware or are not yet positively influenced. Additionally, our data shows that the intense strain of COVID-19 on physicians is leading a surprisingly large percentage to consider leaving the practice of medicine entirely or retiring early. During this interactive session, we’ll dive into the survey findings, outline actionable steps that medical groups can implement to communicate and improve their physician retention programs, and discuss why it’s critical to anticipate and address future staffing needs earlier to overcome the downside of lengthy vacancies.
Learning Objectives:
