Scribes Linked to 27% Lower Burnout Rate in Primary Care

According to a Feb. 16 report from the American Medical Association, pairing primary care physicians with scribes can significantly improve physician well-being and decrease burnout rates. In the AMA-funded study of primary care providers, scribes were linked to a 26.8 percent decrease in burnout. Before being assigned a scribe, 70.3 percent of surveyed physicians reported burnout; however, that number dropped to 51.4 percent when they received a scribe. Burnout elevated throughout the study for physicians who did not receive a scribe. Physicians with scribes also reported a more joyful workplace, a more supportive work environment, and less stress.
