Summary
Physicians' early retirements and shifting job perceptions demand smarter technology uses in the US health system. A 2021-2022 AMA survey found 40% of physicians considering leaving their current organization within two years due to a lack of valuation and escalating burnout exacerbated by clerical workload. Experts, including Dr. Tina Shah, push for technological advancements like AI to automate repetitive tasks and reduce clerical burdens. In addition, they propose actions under the "2022 Healthcare Workforce Rescue Package". These tactics aim to create safer workplaces, foster team collaboration, and ensure physicians' dedicated time to practice medicine.
