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.</mods:abstract><mods:name><mods:namePart>Bhatti, Tauheed</mods:namePart><mods:role><mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators" valueURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut">Author</mods:roleTerm></mods:role></mods:name><mods:name><mods:namePart>Bledsoe, Thomas</mods:namePart><mods:role><mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators" valueURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut">Author</mods:roleTerm></mods:role></mods:name><mods:name><mods:namePart>Gutman, Deborah</mods:namePart><mods:role><mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators" valueURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut">Author</mods:roleTerm></mods:role></mods:name><mods:originInfo><mods:dateCreated>2024</mods:dateCreated></mods:originInfo><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>burnout</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>Nurse care managers</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>workload</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>career satisfaction</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>workflow</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>clinical efficiency</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>Mini Z</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:genre>posters</mods:genre><mods:accessCondition type="use and reproduction">All rights reserved</mods:accessCondition><mods:accessCondition type="rights statement" xlink:href="http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/">In Copyright</mods:accessCondition><mods:accessCondition type="restriction on access">All Rights Reserved</mods:accessCondition><mods:identifier type="doi">10.26300/d1g0-1247</mods:identifier></mods:mods>
