Anesthesiologists & Burnout in the Digital Age

Dodging the Burnout Bullet in the Digital Age!

Dr Hadzic break down the causes of additional stress to anesthesiologists with increased digitalization of the anesthesia care. You can think of the video as "Dr. Hadzic's Guide to Surviving the Digital Overload: No Anesthesiologist Left Behind!"

The digital transformation carries the risk of increased workload and potential burnout.

The constant connectivity that technology enables can blur the lines between work and personal time, leading to an "always-on" work culture. This can exacerbate stress and contribute to burnout among healthcare professionals, including anesthesiologists. Additionally, the time and cognitive load required to manage EHRs and other digital tools can be significant, potentially taking away from patient care and increasing work hours. Digital technology can improve efficiency, accessibility, and precision in anesthesiology. The electronic health records (EHRs) can streamline patient information management, digital monitoring systems can track patient status more accurately, and telemedicine can allow for remote consultations.

However, it's crucial that the digital transformation in healthcare is shaped in a way that supports healthcare professionals and prioritizes patient care, rather than adding to the burden of an already demanding profession.

Retired ER doctor here. 31 years was enough! I love all your videos but this one really hit home. Thank you for your dedication to teaching.

Absolutely true. Anaesthesiologist here. We even forget ourselves and get involved in our work life. Glad you took a note and mentioned. ❤

It's so hard to balance your life and work while working big hours. So burnout is really close to many of us. What really helps is support from our loved ones

Thanks Doctor Hadzic. I first saw you speak at a small regional anesthesia talk in the early 2000's. In your talks, books and videos you have always advocated for patient safety & satisfaction along with simplicity. That was the pitch for regional anesthesia. With improved technology like ultrasound, improved airway management tools (e.g. Videolaryngoscopy), better monitors, and better medications (e.g. Sugammadex) the job satisfaction of anesthesiologists (& all medical providers) should be at a record high. Unfortunately, things have been tilted the other direction by encroachment into the ORs by things like poorly designed EMR's, non-evidence-based Joint Commission mandates, low-return compliance activities, etc. Anesthesiology (& medicine) is a great profession with an amazing history of unparalleled contributions to advancing patient care. Let's aim for simplicity again. Work-life balance will improve. Great video.

I'm 7 years out from anesthesia residency and couldn't take the fulltime schedule anymore. I backed off to half time ONLY. No call, no weekends, no more freebies. It has made a huge improvement. Med school applicants are naturally conscientious, guilt-driven perfectionists. Throw them into a 7+ year professional workaholic indoctrination program and you get a population of workers that don't know how to say "NO".

In my country, anesthesiologist and anesthetic nurse have burnout from healthcare system, not from technical aspect of the job.

Thanks for sharing so clearly! I’m a RN and see this in my MDs-driven to still give the best care but just exhausted by the constant pressure that keeps coming with digital age. RNs feel it too, so much work creep, feels like I’m never off…

Doctors are themselves responsible for this...
Instead of focusing on simple, cheap and effective treatments for patients..the intelligent amongst us started focusing on providing treatment in detail, making it complicated and costly with no proportionately added benefit to the patient.
The cost and length of training of new doctors increased proportionately.
The cost of treatment increased so much, and the stakes so high, that only big businesses can tackle it now, forcing doctors to the position of maximum of skilled labour.
Now a days doctors are just like 'sales guys' in a big corporation. They are like everyday operations worker responsible for running of the system smoothly.
They are not the bosses anymore, but only a labour force.
But doctors (particularly intelligent ones) are themselves responsible for all of this.

Its not a difficult career choice if you know where you stand on morals and values and truly stand by them.

Important message, but don’t expect relief from the myriad special interest parasites that have infested our profession. Our professional societies have abandoned us in favor of a socialist, DEI Woke agenda. While my career choice has been personally rewarding, I’m relieved my kids have chosen a different career path. That last notion is a national tragedy and doesn’t bode well for the future of what’s left of our healthcare system.
