Physician and Practitioner Wellness
To combat an epidemic of physician burnout, the WSMA has embraced the
"Quadruple Aim," which builds on the Institute for Healthcare
Improvement's Triple Aim of improving care quality, improving population
health, and lowering costs by adding a fourth component: improving the
quality of life and work of health care clinicians.
Thanks to generous funding from the Physician’s Foundation, the WSMA
Foundation is reintroducing the WSMA’s Healthy Doctors, Healthier Patients
initiative, now with a sole focus on physician and clinician wellness,
with programs, resources, and innovative approaches to help physicians and
practitioners manage burnout and stress in their practices and reconnect
with the joy of practicing medicine.
