Losing one physician costs a health system up to $1 million, yet only 23% of organizations have formal retention plans. A three-part fix: pair clinicians with administrators, fix EHR usability, and create a dedicated physician support resource. Physician autonomy matters most.
Do you know that losing just one physician can cost your healthcare system up to $1 million per physician? You know, one study shows that a significant percentage of physicians actually plan to leave their current practice this year, 2026. If that's accurate, we aren't just looking at a staffing issue, it's a significant financial business risk. You know, we're still seeing record levels of burnout. Um, one study shows that 1 in 2 physicians feels it, but the real gap is only 23% of organizations seem to even have a formal retention plan. You know, we can't solve today's face challenges with the same thinking that created them. So to win in this year, we got to think about 3 different buckets. First, alignment, using practices like Dyad Leadership Models to pair clinicians with administrators. Second, we got to focus on engagement. We got to fix EHR. We got to prioritize autonomy. Autonomy tends to be the one thing that physicians value the most. And third, retention. And one practice is maybe establishing some sort of internal department resource or a one-stop shop or point of contact for physician support. See, when physicians thrive, organizations thrive. So how are you fighting this year to make healthcare better for physicians? Let's get to work.
