Summary
A study published in JAMA Network Open analyzed data from over 10,000 family physicians to assess the connection between team structure, electronic health record (EHR) experiences, and burnout from 2017 to 2023. The research found a sustained burnout prevalence, peaking at 42.8% in 2022, and identified that proper allocation of EHR time at home and high team efficiency correlated with reduced burnout odds. The study emphasized the need for improvements in EHR workflows and team dynamics to enhance physician well-being and specifically noted modifiable practice structure factors impacting team efficiency and EHR experiences.
