The future of Physician Leadership is based on this common-sense principle: happy, healthy patients can only come from happy, healthy doctors. This obvious statement of fact, is a recent and revolutionary concept in the modern healthcare industry. This new focus on the health and wellbeing of the providers even has a new name … the Quadruple Aim. (1)

Recent studies suggest over half of all American doctors are suffering from at least one symptom of burnout. (2) Burnout has been linked to a host of negative consequences for the patient. These include more medical errors, lower quality of care, lower levels of patient satisfaction, higher levels of physician and staff turnover, more malpractice cases and even physician drug and alcohol abuse and suicide. (3)

The time is now to begin retooling systems of care to optimize the provider experience. This can only be accomplished by a critical mass of physician leaders trained in this new and revolutionary skill set.  

To address this leadership vacuum, Dike Drummond MD, CEO of TheHappyMD.com is hosting the second annual Quadruple Aim Physician Leadership Retreat May 13 – 16, 2018 at the Edgewater Hotel on the waterfront in Seattle, Washington.
