Understanding & Addressing Trends in Physician & Nurse Burnout 2024

Since 2018, burnout rates have increased for all types of clinicians, particularly physicians and nurses. Though recent KLAS data indicates burnout rates are slightly decreasing among these two groups, their burnout rates are still above pre-pandemic levels. The Arch Collaborative conducts research on burnout, focusing on how it intersects with the EHR. In the EHR experience survey, clinicians share their current level of burnout and which factors are contributing. Using this data-collected between January 2022 and August 2023-this report details how burnout rates have evolved for physicians and nurses, what the main contributors are, and how organizations can combat burnout. Data in this report comes from 20,229 physicians and 32,782 nurses, and some physicians and nurses have reported burnout levels across multiple years.
