SEATTLE, Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For any individual physician, the only way to provide the highest quality patient care -- and deeply enjoy their practice -- is if that very same doctor is happy and healthy in their own right. This may seem an obvious statement of fact, but it is a recent and revolutionary concept in the modern healthcare industry. This new leadership focus on the health and wellbeing of the providers of care even has a name … the Quadruple Aim.

Dike Drummond MD is a Family Physician, executive coach and CEO of TheHappyMD.com. He is the creator of the Quadruple Aim Physician Leadership Retreat based on his 2000 hours of one-on-one physician coaching experience and lessons learned via delivering live physician burnout prevention training to over 20,000 physicians on behalf of over 70 major healthcare organizations to date. He is also the author of the book "Stop Physician Burnout - what to do when working harder isn't working".

The Quadruple Aim Physician Leadership Retreat May 13 - 16, 2018 is held at the ultrahip Edgewater Hotel, the only waterfront hotel in Seattle. Special rates are available for Early Bird Registration and Bulk Discounts are available to organizations.

There is plenty of room for improvement on this front. Recent studies suggest over half of all American doctors are suffering from at least one symptom of burnout. (2) Yet a sea change of this magnitude – retooling systems of care to optimize the provider experience - will require a critical mass of physician leaders trained in a new and equally revolutionary skill set.

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

One of the causes of the modern burnout epidemic is twenty years of single-minded industry focus on the Triple Aim – Cost, Quality and Population Health. In 2015 a group of healthcare leaders finally asked the obvious question, "How can we provide high quality medical care if our people are burned out?" The answer revealed healthcare's new Quadruple Aim. (2)

Focus on this fourth aim – the health and wellbeing of the people providing the care – is key to the creative destruction of burnout. When physician leaders apply Quadruple Aim leadership skills to the systems and culture of the organization, research shows the natural result will be better quality patient care and satisfaction, fewer errors, more engagement and less turnover.

Building on the clear success of the 2017 Retreat, this unique 3 1/2 day event gathers just 40 like-minded physician leaders, teaching proven tools to hard wire the Quadruple Aim ...
- into Their Own Lives
- into Their Personal Leadership Skill Set
- and the Fabric of Their Entire Organization

The retreat trainings are distilled from Dr. Drummond's combined experience of over 2000 hours of one-on-one physician coaching -- and training over 20,000 doctors for over 70 corporate clients.
