December 4, 2024- A new KLAS report found that burnout and frustrations with electronic health records drive many nurses and physicians to consider leaving the profession. According to Becker’s, the report explores the financial impact of turnover, how burnout and electronic health record experiences play a role, and shares strategies from organizations that have successfully improved clinician satisfaction and reduced turnover.
Notable findings from the report include that clinician turnover has been on the rise since 2019, and the trend continues to worsen. In 2024, nearly half of all nurses and physicians are considered at risk of leaving their roles.
Additionally, among those at risk, 21% of nurses and 13% of physicians ultimately decide to leave.
For those considering leaving, the reasons are often complex. Data shows that burnout and frustrations with electronic health record systems are major factors — especially for those thinking about leaving not just their job but healthcare altogether.
