COACHING - Physician, Healthcare and Workplace Burnout

Fix the Clinical Workplace,

Not the Clinicians

 

Burnout in healthcare is a sign of deep dysfunction within clinical workplaces, where barriers and frustrations make it difficult for clinicians to thrive. Traditional top-down, command-and-control management fails in this environment, as clinicians—knowledge workers—need autonomy to make decisions and innovate.

 

Dr. DeChant, with experience as a family physician and CEO of a 300-physician medical group, initially struggled with balancing physician autonomy and organizational alignment.

 

He found an approach that empowered clinicians while ensuring enterprise-wide success, leading to high patient care ratings across California.

 

Now, he coaches healthcare leaders on implementing that approach, that not only reduces burnout and enhances professional fulfillment, but drives high performance on all key performance metrics tracked by health systems.
