From Burnout to Balance: The First Step to Transformation
Unveiling the Hidden Epidemic: Surgeon Burnout and the Path to Empowerment
Physician Burnout is an alarming reality that has reached epidemic proportions, and the surgical space is no exception. Shockingly, over half of all physicians experience burnout, with a distressing 23% reporting feelings of depression. These numbers have seen a staggering 26% increase since 2018. Even surgeons, renowned for their resilience, are not immune, with one in two surgeons across specialties admitting to significant burnout.
What’s truly concerning is that this is not a passing issue. Nearly two-thirds of surgeons report experiencing burnout for over a year, and unfortunately, there seems to be no effective solution in sight.
But what exactly is driving these escalating levels of burnout? Surprisingly, it’s not inadequate compensation or excessive working hours. America’s fatigued surgeons overwhelmingly point to an insidious culprit: the burden of bureaucratic tasks, accounting for a significant 61% of reported burnout cases.
The Surgeons Calling: Embracing a New Mindset for Success
At Nemedic, we are surgeon-led, and we understand the toll that this mountain of bureaucracy takes on your professional fulfillment. You weren’t destined to spend your career navigating paperwork and grappling with insurance companies. We get it, and we agree that something needs to change. The time has come to shift our mindset and embrace a new approach that prioritizes self-care, productivity, and longevity in our life’s work.
Transforming your schedule is the first step towards alleviating the burden of bureaucratic tasks and reigniting your passion for surgery. Imagine seeing patients who are not only suitable candidates for surgery but also possess the desire, need, and financial means for the procedure. These are the patients you were meant to treat. After dedicating countless years to your surgical skills and practice, your calling lies in performing surgeries, not engaging in administrative battles, arguing with insurance, or writing lengthy narratives.
Boosting Surgeon Performance: The Game-Changing Benefits of Schedule Stacking
At our company, we call this transformative practice “schedule stacking.” It’s an innovative process we’ve developed that prequalifies patients, accurately predicts and targets their specific pathologies to meet case criteria, and efficiently screens out the rest.
By intentionally scheduling these prequalified patients while minimizing the need for medical management, top surgeons can experience a remarkable 50% increase in case volumes and an astounding 90% reduction in medical management. As a result, many surgeons witness up to a 66% decrease in pointless bureaucratic tasks and schedule jamming.
SCHEDULE STACKING: A process involving pre-qualification of patients, pathology-specific targeting prior to scheduling to meet case criteria, and efficient screening of patients to eliminate medical management.
We believe this is a game-changer for surgical practices, enabling them to achieve success, sustainable growth, and profitability even in challenging economic times. Moreover, it translates into exceptional patient care, granting deserving individuals access to the innovative treatments they require in a timely manner.
