25% of Clinicians Want Out of Healthcare: Survey

***

***

One quarter of U.S. physicians, advanced practice providers, and nurses are considering switching careers and one third are considering switching employers, according to newly released results from a survey conducted by Bain & Company. Below are some key takeaways from the survey and brief, which was released October 11th and can be found in full here.

1. Of the 25 percent of clinicians who are thinking about exiting healthcare entirely, 89 percent cite burnout as the main driver.

2. The top three things clinicians care about most in their profession are compensation, quality of patient care, and workload, according to the survey. Of those three, they are least satisfied with compensation (59 percent expressed satisfaction) and workload (60 percent). Eighty percent said they are satisfied with the quality of patient care. 

3. Burnout shows up throughout clinicians’ days, with 63 percent saying they feel worn out at the end of the workday, 51 percent saying they feel they don’t have time and energy for family and friends during leisure time, and 38 percent feeling exhausted in the morning at the thought of another workday.

SAVINGS: Rates Plummet!

By Staff Reporters

***

The personal savings of Americans have plunged this year, hitting $629 billion in the second quarter of 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. That’s down from $1.98 trillion in the second quarter of 2021, and $4.85 trillion in the second quarter of 2020, boosted by COVID-related government cash. But it’s also down from $1.41 trillion in the second quarter of 2019, before the pandemic.

In fact, the personal saving rate — meaning personal saving as a percentage of disposable income, or the share of income left after paying taxes and spending money — fell to 3.5% in August, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. It’s quite a U-turn: The personal saving rate recently peaked at 26.3% in March 2021 and 33.8% in April 2020. But the drop in the personal saving rate isn’t all pandemic-related: In January 2020, before the coronavirus pandemic, it was 9.1%.

But, what about doctors and other medical professionals?

FLASH ALERT: “Alphabet” Stock Shares!

By Staff Reporters

***

***

  • Stocks are hot and posted their third straight day of gains on hope that the FOMC might end its rate hikes at some point in the future. But that streak could end today.
  • Alphabet shares took a tumble in late trading after the company revealed its fifth consecutive quarter of slower revenue growth. Cracks are emerging in some of its core properties: Google search and YouTube. YouTube revenue declined for the first time since Google started reporting the division’s earnings separately.
  • Alphabet’s total quarterly revenue growth drastically declined from 41% to 6%.
  • The growth rate of Microsoft’s search and news advertising business has been shrinking each quarter of the past year, coinciding with the general downward trajectory of the entire online advertising market.

APPLE: Health Insurance?

By Bertalan Meskó, MD PhD

Ben Wood, chief analyst at European CCS Insights predicts that Apple will enter the US health insurance market in partnership with a major insurer in 2024 – Forbes reported

The company already collects heaps of health data, such as blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, ECG readings and body temperature from the Watch, and through phone apps that help people regulate their medication or manage chronic conditions like diabetes. 

I hope you find the report useful!
