Six Strategies to Mitigate Provider Burnout
Here are six strategies to mitigate provider burnout in your practice.
5. Provider-to-Patient Support Program
Implement a program among physicians that will reinforce the provider-patient relationship and make it stronger than ever. These can be personal, conversational calls – not transactional – that are approached in the same way one might approach checking in with a friend you haven’t called in a while. There’s no expectation beyond checking in, demonstrating to our patients that we care. A growing body of studies suggests health care professional burnout is frequently associated with poor quality of care and less optimal outcomes for patients.

| QUERIES (CLINICAL) | |
Query: Port-Wine Stain on Foot of a 3 Year Old
I need some help. Does anyone have experience with port-wine stains on the foot? A 3-year-old patient came in with her mom being concerned about this. The patient had been diagnosed by her PCP. The mother was concerned that the patient has pain. However, with my palpation of the lesion and observations in gait, the patient did not look like she was in pain. The mother insisted the patient has pain. The lesion, about 1.5 cm in size, is located on the proximal arch. I'm looking for some ideas on treatments if there are any viable options.
