"Doctors with mental illness don't need more suicide awareness — we're aware. And we don't need confidential treatment opportunities. What we need is assurance from all invested parties — our employers, credentialing bodies, and licensing officials — that it will be OK if we need help, we can get what we need, and that everything for the job can be sorted out once we're well. Because it turns out, in most cases, that's true — and in the instances where it isn't, that's the reality we need to work towards."
Alison Baum is a family physician.
She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Physicians with mental illness shouldn't hide."
The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.
With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients.
At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.
Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
