Survey shows U.S. doctors discouraged, have low morale
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, November 3, 2006
Doctor fatigue and emotional burnout have led to family discord, depression, and even suicidal thoughts, according to a recent survey conducted by the American College of Physician Executives. The survey of 1,205 U.S. physicians found:
Nearly 60% have considered leaving the practice of medicine because they are discouraged about the state of U.S. healthcare
The top five factors contributing to low morale were identified by respondents as low reimbursement, loss of autonomy, bureaucratic red tape, patient overload, and loss of respect
Almost 70% said they knew of at least one doctor who stopped practicing medicine due to low morale
