- Abstract
- With a rise in workload, primary care physicians are experiencing alarmingly high rates of burnout – a sense of depersonalization, exhaustion, and reduced accomplishment. These symptoms can have a negative impact on patients. Some clinics utilize nurse care managers (NCMs) in a team-based approach to reduce physician workloads. This study aims to assess burnout trends among Brown Internal Medicine physicians and their perception of nurse care managers to assess whether utilizing a team-based approach can reduce burnout. This study utilized a mixed-method approach that first consisted of a literature review to better understand the role of nurse care managers. I administered a Mini Z 2.0 burnout survey that was identical to a previously administered (2017) data set and a 4-item questionnaire on the impact of NCMs via email to 28 Brown IM physicians. The Mini Z compared the averages and the range from 2017 with the 2024 data, whereas the questionnaire was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. The 2017 Mini Z data averaged 30.94 ranging from 24-42, whereas the 2024 data averaged 25.5 . In the questionnaire, physicians agreed with NCMs positively impacting workflow (76.2%), increasing career satisfaction (61.9%), increasing efficiency (57.1%), and freeing up time to focus on what is most important (61.9%).While there was no significant change in burnout amongst those surveyed, an overwhelming majority believed nurse care managers helped reduce multiple symptoms of burnout. A team-based approach should be used to foster healthier clinical systems and reduce chances of burnout.
