Evidence Supporting Call Redesign

Operational improvements are important, but sustainable programs should also improve physician well-being. When a partner noninvasive cardiology program implemented a Call Relief model, physicians experienced improvements across all three dimensions of physician burnout.

Study Highlights
Significant 5-point median reduction in Emotional Exhaustion
Licensing
Measured using the validated Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS)
Six-month observational follow-up
Improvements were observed across all three domains: Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment.
Each 1-point increase in Emotional Exhaustion is associated with a 7-10% higher risk of physician turnover.
