Protecting Family Physicians from Burnout: Meaningful Patient-Physician Relationships Are "More than Just Medicine"

Conclusions:
Though many burnout interventions have targeted change at the individual (physician) level, a growing amount of evidence points to the need for change at the health system level. The findings of this study suggest that system-level interventions aimed at enhancing and prioritizing physicians' experiences of continuity and connection with their patients may be particularly impactful in efforts to reduce and prevent burnout.
