TheHappyMD.com Announces Physician Wellness Champion Boot Camp Early Bird Registration Opens Saturday, May 26th

SEATTLE, May 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With physician burnout rates topping 50% in the USA (1), it is clear the house of medicine is on fire. The industry's single-minded focus on the "Triple Aim" of Cost, Quality and Population Health fails to protect the doctors from the stresses of today's practice of medicine. It is clear that business as usual in the age of EMR burns out the providers and has pervasive negative effects on patient care (2). It will take a new breed of physician leaders to put out the fire and restore the health and wellbeing of the providers of care.  This new understanding of the importance of physician wellbeing even has a new name … the Quadruple Aim. (3)

Innovative healthcare organizations recognize the urgent need to add a Physician Wellness Champion to the senior leadership team. Their primary responsibility is to support the wellbeing of the providers and install a functioning strategy to prevent physician burnout organization-wide. Where can a physician leader learn the skills – and get the support – to become an effective Wellness Champion?

TheHappyMD.com announces our third Quadruple Aim Physician Leadership Retreat, September 20 – 23, 2018 at the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle, Washington. This unique training experience is a complete Boot Camp for building Physician Wellness Champions. The intimate group of only 40 participants will share 3 ½ days in Seattle learning proven burnout prevention tools, followed by a comprehensive 12-week support system. Graduates will have a proven toolkit and full support to launch or improve any physician wellness program on their return home.

Recent studies suggest over half of all American doctors are suffering from at least one symptom of burnout. (1) 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.
