Addressing physician burnout

In response to the growing concern of physician burnout, the AMA’s STEPS Forward website, which provides free online modules to help physicians revitalize their practices, outlined seven steps physicians can take to measure and respond to burnout among their colleagues:
1.    Establish wellness as a quality indicator
2.    Start a wellness committee
3.    Distribute an annual wellness survey
4.    Meet with leaders regularly to discuss data and intervention
5.    Initiate selected interventions
6.    Repeat the survey to reevaluate the situation
7.    Seek answers within data, refine the interventions, and continue improvements
