Summary
The healthcare sector is grappling with rising clinician turnover, which is largely attributed to burnout and dissatisfaction with electronic health records (EHRs), according to a KLAS report. The KLAS Arch Collaborative's findings indicate that almost half of nurses and physicians could leave their roles by 2024, with substantial financial implications—averaging $56,300 for replacing a nurse and up to $1 million for a physician. Although most clinicians wish to stay in the field, they are becoming more selective about workplaces that prioritize their well-being and job satisfaction. Organizations that successfully enhance these aspects may improve retention rates among their healthcare workforce.
